Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant in Dunipace
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Work in a place like Dunipace is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Dunipace
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Larbert station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Denny High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Dunipace, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Dunipace
Is Dunipace within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you have insurance?

Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
