How we handle fire rated sealant in Cambuskenneth
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens on the day
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. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Cambuskenneth, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Cambuskenneth
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Cambuskenneth. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as Wallace High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Stirling station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
