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.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Landlord and commercial work in Collydean
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Collydean
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured

There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job.

- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
FAQs for Collydean
Do you work for landlords with property near Markinch station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Collydean within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
