What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Outside jobs in Elie need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are 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.
Elie: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Elie?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you come to Elie?
Yes. We cover Elie and the rest of Fife. For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a place like Elie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
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: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
