Fire rated sealant in Camperdown
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In a smaller place like Camperdown, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Camperdown and across Dundee.

FAQs for Camperdown
I let a flat near Invergowrie station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Camperdown?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Camperdown
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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. All the old material has to come out first.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Camperdown
