Fire rated sealant in Queenzieburn, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
In a smaller place like Queenzieburn, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Queenzieburn

Common questions in Queenzieburn
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Queenzieburn?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Croy station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Queenzieburn
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
For fire rated sealant in Queenzieburn, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Queenzieburn need a dry day, because sealant will not 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.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote

Related advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Queenzieburn?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you let a flat or house near Croy station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
