About our fire rated sealant in Thomshill
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
In a smaller place like Thomshill, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Commercial buildings in Thomshill
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Birnie Kirk, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Elgin High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Elgin station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thomshill
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Thomshill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Do you provide details of the products used?

Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire 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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
