Advice
How we handle fire rated sealant in Bogton
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Bogton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Bogton, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common questions in Bogton
Do you cover smaller places like Bogton?
Yes, Bogton is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Bogton?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bogton
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Bogton, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
