Fire rated sealant across Dumfries and Galloway: what to expect

Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Where we work in Dumfries and Galloway

Across Dumfries and Galloway, from Dumfries, Stranraer and Annan outwards, offices, hotels, schools and shops all need sealant work from time to time.

Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Dumfries and Galloway included. Journeys are planned ahead, and outside jobs are booked around the forecast. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Dumfries and Galloway can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Dumfries: Managing a site like Dumfries Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Dumfries station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why deal with it now?

Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap.

What your quote should include

How much experience the applicator has
How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Are they insured?
Is VAT in the price?

Signs you need fire rated sealant

Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Unsealed gaps around fire door frames

Surface by surface

Service penetrations

New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.

Door frames

Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

How we quote for fire rated sealant

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

Whether there’s mould to deal with
The product the joint needs
Any working-time requirements on site
How easy the joints are to reach

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

Any previous sealing or DIY work
What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The type of property
Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.

Common questions in Dumfries and Galloway

Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?

We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Dumfries and Galloway?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?

No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
