Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Dailly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Dailly, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Dailly
Do you cover Dailly for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Dailly is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Dailly?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Dailly
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Dailly can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Dailly, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Around Dailly, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

What affects the quote in Dailly
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Dailly?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
In and around Dailly, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
