Fire rated sealant in Glenfarg, 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. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Glenfarg and across Perth and Kinross.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. For a place like Glenfarg, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Glenfarg
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Community buildings like Arngask Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Glenfarg: your questions answered
Will you come out to Glenfarg?
Yes, Glenfarg is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Glenfarg in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Glenfarg is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Glenfarg?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
