Do you need fire rated sealant in Coaltown of Balgonie?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you let a flat or house near Markinch station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include

- The length of the guarantee

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you work for landlords with property near Markinch station?

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Coaltown of Balgonie?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
