If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Fire rated sealant in Ardler: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Ardler, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lawside Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Invergowrie station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Ardler, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common questions in Ardler
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergowrie station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ardler?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
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 job gets bigger.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Ardler, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
