Fire rated sealant in Deanston, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames.
For a place like Deanston, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Deanston as everywhere else we work.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The rough size of the job
If you are in Deanston and need fire rated sealant, send an email to 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
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.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we are called out for in Deanston
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Deanston, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether VAT is included

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Deanston
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunblane station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting 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 Deanston?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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.

- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
