Fire Rated Sealant in Drumclog
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Drumclog? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant in Drumclog, done properly
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, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you’re dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Drumclog, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Commercial buildings in Drumclog
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Drumclog Memorial Kirk are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. In and around Drumclog, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Drumclog
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Drumclog?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks.

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Drumclog is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
