Fire-rated sealant in Noranside, Angus
Our applicators work in Noranside on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Noranside
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Noranside, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Common problems we fix in Noranside
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Old Parish Church And Churchyard, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
