Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kentallen
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Kentallen, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kentallen
Will you come out to Kentallen?
Yes, Kentallen is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Kentallen for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kentallen is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Kentallen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What we’re called out for in Kentallen
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
In and around Kentallen, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Fire rated sealant around Kentallen
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Kentallen, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For jobs in and around Kentallen, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What else we do in Kentallen
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
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.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Kentallen, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
