Fire rated sealant in Kinloch
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Kinloch, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Perth and Kinross.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kinloch
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Community buildings like Kinloch Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant around Kinloch
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Blairgowrie High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Kinloch need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Kinloch questions
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s 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 Kinloch?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kinloch is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kinloch?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
