Kelton Hill Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Kelton Hill for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Kelton Hill need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Kelton Hill, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Kelton Hill
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Kelton Hill questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kelton Hill?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kelton Hill?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kelton Hill is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Other services in Kelton Hill
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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.
