Fire rated sealant in Pinwherry
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Pinwherry, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Pinwherry may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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 and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Why act early in Pinwherry
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a place like Pinwherry, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
FAQs for Pinwherry
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Pinwherry?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Pinwherry within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Pinwherry?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Pinwherry
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Around Pinwherry, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
