About our fire rated sealant in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kirkpatrick Fleming Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Kirkpatrick-Fleming may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
FAQs for Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kirkpatrick-Fleming?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Kirkpatrick-Fleming?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkpatrick-Fleming
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
