- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Fire rated sealant in Auchengray, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In an older home around Auchengray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Auchengray?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Breich station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

FAQs for Auchengray
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Auchengray?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Breich station. Can you help?
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 will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Auchengray need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
