What we are called out for in Burnside of Duntrune
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a building such as Braeview Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Burnside of Duntrune
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Burnside of Duntrune, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Broughty Ferry station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
