Questions from Coaltown of Wemyss
Is Coaltown of Wemyss within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Glenrothes with Thornton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.

Commercial buildings in Coaltown of Wemyss
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Coaltown of Wemyss, 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; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Adrian's Church And Churchyard, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Glenrothes with Thornton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around Coaltown of Wemyss, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Coaltown of Wemyss need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
