What we’re called out for in Montrose
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Montrose Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

About our fire rated sealant in Montrose
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a hotel, guest house or care home in Montrose, bathrooms can be resealed room by room, around guests or residents.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Montrose is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In flats with a shared stair in Montrose, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Don’t 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.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

Fire rated sealant in Montrose: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Montrose, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Montrose station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Montrose
I let a flat near Montrose station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Montrose?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
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.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
