Fire rated sealant in Gordon: local notes
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 East Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Gordon
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Work in a place like Gordon 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 isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When to call us in Gordon
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Around Gordon, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Gordon questions
Is Gordon in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Gordon is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Gordon?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Gordon depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Surface 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.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
