Fire rated sealant in Allanton, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
For a place like Allanton, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Allanton need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

Allanton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hartwood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Allanton within the area you cover?
Yes. Allanton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
What we are called out for in Allanton
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for these signs:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For buildings such as Bonkle Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before you book anyone
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
