Fire rated sealant in Torphichen, 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, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Torphichen, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Torphichen may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What else we do in Torphichen
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Torphichen, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Tidy, careful work

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
If you manage several properties in or around Torphichen, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
