Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kettlebridge
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right.
Work in a place like Kettlebridge is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Kettlebridge?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Look out for these signs:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like Kettle Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

Why deal with it now?
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outdoor work around Kettlebridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Kettlebridge questions
I let a flat near Ladybank station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Kettlebridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
