Fire rated sealant in Drummuir, done properly
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. If you’re dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Drummuir as everywhere else we work.

Drummuir questions
Do you cover Drummuir for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Drummuir is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Is intumescent sealant the same as 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. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go.

- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Drummuir
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
What we are called out for in Drummuir
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Botriphnie Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the quote in Drummuir
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that is easy
