About our fire rated sealant in Drumlithie
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and open joints along the top of partitions, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Drumlithie, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Drumlithie
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. 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. Somewhere like Drumlithie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Drumlithie questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Drumlithie?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Drumlithie is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is Drumlithie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
