Fire-rated sealant in Polmont, Falkirk

- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Fire rated sealant in Polmont
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Polmont
Will you come out to Polmont?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Polmont station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Polmont?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graeme High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
