Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Mundole
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, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help.
For a place like Mundole, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Mundole?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you let a flat or house near Forres station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Mundole
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Mundole, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Forres Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Outside jobs in Mundole need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Mundole, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Mundole questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Mundole?
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 Mundole?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
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.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
