DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In an older home around East Haven, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in East Haven
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Questions from East Haven
Will you come out to East Haven?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in East Haven?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
