Questions from Davidston
Will you come out to Davidston?
Yes, Davidston is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Common problems we fix in Davidston
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Invergordon station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Davidston, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What affects the quote in Davidston
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Davidston need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What else we do in Davidston
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Davidston
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Davidston, 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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
