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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

About our fire rated sealant in Guardbridge
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Guardbridge, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Guardbridge
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Around Guardbridge, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
