Fire Rated Sealant in Almondbank
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Almondbank and across Perth and Kinross. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Almondbank
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open joints along the top of partitions, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
In a smaller place like Almondbank, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the quote in Almondbank
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Fire rated sealant in Almondbank: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Serf's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Bertha Park High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Almondbank need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Almondbank
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Perth station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
Common questions in Almondbank
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Perth station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Almondbank?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
