Blackdog: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackdog?
Yes, Blackdog is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Blackdog, along with the rest of our area.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
About our fire rated sealant in Blackdog
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Blackdog, 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.

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Blackdog
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Rented homes near Dyce station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Blackdog, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Blackdog
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackdog
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
