What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Fire rated sealant in Craigiebank, done properly
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. We work on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. For a building in Craigiebank, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Craigiebank and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Fire rated sealant in Craigiebank: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Craigiebank, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Craigiebank Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Craigie High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Advice
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Craigiebank
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Craigiebank?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
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. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Craigiebank?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you work in Craigiebank?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Craigiebank.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What affects the quote in Craigiebank
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
If you’re in Craigiebank and need fire rated sealant, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Craigiebank, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
