About our fire rated sealant in Hamilton
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
Building work in Scotland comes under its own regulations and technical handbooks, but whatever the building, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the product’s tested details. For any building in Hamilton, that applies just the same.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit in Hamilton needs three things planned: access, parking and where the work is. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hamilton
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Hamilton West station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Why it’s worth doing now in Hamilton
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Private landlords in a town like Hamilton must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Replacing failed sealant early is simpler than dealing with a complaint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why Hamilton clients choose us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely

Hamilton: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Hamilton West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
