Fire rated sealant in The Murray, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like The Murray, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in The Murray as everywhere else we work.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Around The Murray, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In an older home around The Murray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

FAQs for The Murray
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. 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 come out to The Murray?
Yes, The Murray is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you need fire rated sealant in The Murray?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like St Andrew's and St Bride's High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
