Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Inveraldie
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Inveraldie, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How it works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Inveraldie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Inveraldie
Is Inveraldie within the area you cover?
Yes. Inveraldie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Commercial buildings in Inveraldie
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, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Braeview Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Dundee station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we are called out for in Inveraldie
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
