About fire rated sealant in North Ayrshire

Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.

What’s near Irvine

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Irvine, Greenwood Academy and Irvine Royal Academy, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Irvine station, roughly 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find The Vennel Gallery (0.7 miles south-west) and Ayrshire Central Hospital (1.3 miles north-west). Open spaces near Irvine include Stevenston Loch.

Commercial buildings across North Ayrshire

Hotels, landlords, schools and businesses across North Ayrshire all have sealant to keep in order. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. We work across Scotland, including North Ayrshire. In the coastal parts of North Ayrshire, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, so they’re often the first to fail. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Irvine: Letting a property close to Irvine station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenwood Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Signs you need fire rated sealant

Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.

The problems people normally mention when they call are:

Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

The old material and how stubborn it is
How many areas need sealing
When we can work, for business premises
The size of the job

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What we need to know

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

Whether it has been sealed before
Roughly how big the job is
If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Photos by email, if that is easy

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Different surfaces, different methods

Door frames

Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.

Flats and HMOs

Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.

What happens if it’s left?

A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. 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.

Questions to ask before booking

Who turns up on the day
How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What the cure time is
Is VAT in the price?

What sealant work can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

North Ayrshire questions

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Which products do you use?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.

Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?

No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.

Do you work in North Ayrshire?

Yes. We work in North Ayrshire. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.

How long does fire rated sealant take?

A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
