Glamis Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Glamis on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Glamis depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Glamis
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
For a place like Glamis, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Glamis as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Glamis
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as St Fergus's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Questions from Glamis
Can you do fire rated sealant in Glamis?
Yes, Glamis is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Glamis?
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.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Glamis?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
