Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Claverhouse
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. For a building in Claverhouse, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Inside a flat in Claverhouse, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What the job involves on each surface
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 so the architrave can be refitted.
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 from the manufacturer’s details.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Common problems we fix in Claverhouse
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Managing a site like Scottish School of Contemporary Dance? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Claverhouse, damp can travel a long way before it shows.

Claverhouse questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Claverhouse?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Claverhouse is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
