About our fire rated sealant in Kilncadzow
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. For a place like Kilncadzow, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Kilncadzow
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send pictures if you have them.

Common problems we fix in Kilncadzow
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Carluke High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
