Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Huntingtower, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
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.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Huntingtower
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Huntingtower?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Perth station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Huntingtower, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
Advice
What affects the quote in Huntingtower
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

When to call us in Huntingtower
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Perth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
