Pitcairngreen Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Pitcairngreen? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
About our fire rated sealant in Pitcairngreen
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Pitcairngreen, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Outside jobs in Pitcairngreen need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Common questions in Pitcairngreen
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Pitcairngreen?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
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.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Pitcairngreen?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you let a flat or house near Perth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pitcairngreen
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Pitcairngreen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
