Fire rated sealant in North Lanarkshire: how it works

Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy.

We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

What affects the price in North Lanarkshire

Fire rated sealant across North Lanarkshire: local notes

North Lanarkshire has hotels, rented property, schools and workplaces, all with sealant to maintain. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.

Scottish weather is hard on outside joints, especially in the wetter west, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across North Lanarkshire.

Motherwell: For buildings such as Dalziel High Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Braidhurst High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
The type of sealant required
Working hours on commercial sites
Whether the work is at height

The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

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

Pictures of the joints, sent by email
How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Whether it has been sealed before
Whether it’s a home or a business

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Why it fails

Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Open gaps behind door architraves
Open holes round services passing through fire walls
New service routes left unsealed after building work

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Lanarkshire

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix

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

Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own

Aftercare tips

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Allow for resealing whenever new services are run

Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.

Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in North Lanarkshire

Do I need to be at home?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

What sealant do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?

No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
