Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Dunblane
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have open gaps behind door architraves and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Dunblane
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Dunblane. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Around Dunblane, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Dunblane: your questions answered
Is Dunblane within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Dunblane?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What we are called out for in Dunblane
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Dunblane station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Dunblane, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
