How we handle fire rated sealant in Kirkmichael
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Kirkmichael, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kirkmichael
Is Kirkmichael in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kirkmichael is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kirkmichael?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Kirkmichael
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises

What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Kirkmichael
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
