Fire rated sealant in Arthurlie, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Work in a place like Arthurlie is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Arthurlie
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Barrhead station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Barrhead High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we’re called out for in Arthurlie
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like Bourock Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Arthurlie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Questions from Arthurlie
I let a flat near Barrhead station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s 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.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
