About our fire rated sealant in Calderbank
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Calderbank, longer drives are planned in advance. 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
What affects the quote in Calderbank
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job

I let a flat near Airdrie station. Can you help?

Do you have insurance?

Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Commercial buildings in Calderbank
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Brannock High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Calderbank Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Airdrie station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What else we do in Calderbank
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a place like Calderbank, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
