What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Bridge of Dee, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Bridge of Dee may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Bridge of Dee
Do you cover smaller places like Bridge of Dee?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
