Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pitcalnie
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
For a place like Pitcalnie, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Pitcalnie
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Fearn station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
