- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
When to call us in Hillyland
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Managing a site like Perth High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hillyland
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and linear gaps at the head of walls, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Hillyland, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Hillyland
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Hillyland?
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.
I let a flat near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.

What else we do in Hillyland
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Hillyland depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hillyland
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Hillyland
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
