How we handle fire rated sealant in Dawsholm
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Dawsholm, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What affects the quote in Dawsholm
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
