How we handle fire rated sealant in Bonnybridge
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps.
For a place like Bonnybridge, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bonnybridge as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Which sealant suits the joint

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a place like Bonnybridge, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

What we are called out for in Bonnybridge
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Schools such as Denny High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
Questions from Bonnybridge
Will you come out to Bonnybridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Larbert station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bonnybridge?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Bonnybridge may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
