Common questions in Boddam
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boddam?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Boddam is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Boddam?
Yes, Boddam is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Fire rated sealant in Boddam, done properly
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. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Boddam, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Boddam, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we are called out for in Boddam
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Dunrossness Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
