Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Quothquan
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Quothquan, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Fire rated sealant in Quothquan: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Carstairs station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Quothquan is about 11 miles south-east of Carluke, in South Lanarkshire. Every kind of property in Quothquan is covered for fire rated sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. Quothquan is one of 139 towns and villages in South Lanarkshire where we work. For nearby work, see our Edinburgh page (26 miles or so).
Our applicators cover all of ML12 for fire rated sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Quothquan
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Quothquan
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for any of the following:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Quothquan Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

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.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Quothquan: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Quothquan?
Yes. Quothquan is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Carstairs station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Quothquan 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
