How we handle fire rated sealant in Craigo
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Craigo, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Craigo and everywhere else we cover.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Outdoor work around Craigo depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Craigo
Do you work for landlords with property near Montrose station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Craigo?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What affects the quote in Craigo
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Common problems we fix in Craigo
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Aberluthnott Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
