Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Sauchieburn
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 follow the tested detail for each one. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
In a smaller place like Sauchieburn, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
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.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

What else we do in Sauchieburn
Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sauchieburn
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Sauchieburn, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Common problems we fix in Sauchieburn
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Letting a property close to Laurencekirk station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Questions from Sauchieburn
Do you cover smaller places like Sauchieburn?
Yes. Sauchieburn 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.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Sauchieburn?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
