Fowlis Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Fowlis on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Fowlis need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Other services in Fowlis
Landlord and commercial work in Fowlis
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Fowlis
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a place like Fowlis, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Fowlis questions
Do you cover smaller places like Fowlis?
Yes, Fowlis is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Fire rated sealant in Fowlis: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Fowlis, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Fowlis Easter Church And Churchyard, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Fowlis is about 5 miles west of Dundee, in Dundee. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Fowlis can book us for fire rated sealant. The work is guaranteed for a year. 50 places in Dundee are on our list.
Work in DD2 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need fire rated sealant at a property on Kirk Road, Benvie Road and Smiddy Brae or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Fowlis: Liff (1 mile east), Muirhead (2 miles north-east), Piperdam (2 miles north-west), Invergowrie (2 miles south-east) and Birkhill (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Dundee (5 miles east), Broughty Ferry (9 miles east), Stobswell (6 miles east), Monifieth (11 miles east), Blackness (5 miles south-east) and Barnhill (9 miles east).
Landmarks near Fowlis
For rail, the closest station is Invergowrie station, roughly 2.8 miles south-east. A little further out are Fowlis Castle (less than half a mile south) and Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (1.4 miles east). The countryside around Fowlis includes Lundie Craigs and Piperdam Loch.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
