About our fire rated sealant in Dunmore
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Dunmore. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a place like Dunmore is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Dunmore
Do you need fire rated sealant in Dunmore?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alloa Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Fire rated sealant around Dunmore
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dunmore, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Airth Parish Church and Churchyard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Alloa station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Dunmore?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work in Dunmore?
Yes. We work in Dunmore. To book, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Dunmore, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Dunmore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
