About our fire rated sealant in Pathhead
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Work in a place like Pathhead is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we’re called out for in Pathhead
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Rented homes near New Cumnock station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why act early in Pathhead
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
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.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
