The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Bridge of Earn questions
Is Bridge of Earn within the area you cover?
Yes. Bridge of Earn is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Bridge of Earn.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will confirm how long when we quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Bridge of Earn?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bridge of Earn
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Bridge of Earn?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as Dunbarney Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
