Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Roanheads
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For a place like Roanheads, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Roanheads depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, 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.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why it’s worth doing now in Roanheads
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around Roanheads, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What else we do in Roanheads
Roanheads questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Roanheads?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
