We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the quote in Bingham
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Bingham: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Bingham?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Do you work in hotels near Bingham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What we are called out for in Bingham
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Brunstane station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Commercial buildings in Bingham
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bingham, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bingham. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Castlebrae Community High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Inside a flat in Bingham, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
