How we handle fire rated sealant in Drumoig
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Drumoig, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Fife.

Why act early in Drumoig
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Drumoig, 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 usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
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 any work starts.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Drumoig depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

Advice
Common questions in Drumoig
Do you cover smaller places like Drumoig?
Yes. Drumoig is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

When to call us in Drumoig
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Lady Leng Memorial Chapel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
