What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Barry
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Workplaces and buildings in Barry
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Barry, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Carnoustie High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Barry is about 5 miles east of Broughty Ferry, in Angus. From the centre of Barry to the outskirts, fire rated sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our Angus coverage runs to 40 places, Barry among them. We also work in Dundee, about 9 miles from Barry.
Every address in DD7 is covered for fire rated sealant, from the main roads to the quietest streets.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we are called out for in Barry
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Barry Links station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the quote in Barry
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Common questions in Barry
Do you cover smaller places like Barry?
Yes. Barry 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Barry Links station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Barry and the rest of Angus, along with the rest of our area.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
