Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Dalgety Bay
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Dalgety Bay?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dalgety Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.

How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Dalgety Bay 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach

Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Dalgety Bay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Dalgety Bay
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dalgety Bay, 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. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
