Fire-rated sealant in Muirhead, Dundee
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Muirhead and across Dundee. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Muirhead
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For a place like Muirhead, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Muirhead may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What we’re called out for in Muirhead
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Rented homes near Invergowrie station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- What insurance they hold

Fire rated sealant in Muirhead: local notes
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; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Questions from Muirhead
Will you come out to Muirhead?
Yes. Muirhead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.

Why it’s worth doing now in Muirhead
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. In an older home around Muirhead, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
