Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and open joints along the top of partitions, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.

When to call us in Invergowrie
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
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.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Invergowrie
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Invergowrie?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Invergowrie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a city area like Invergowrie, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Fire rated sealant around Invergowrie
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Invergowrie, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Souls Episcopal Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- The product the joint needs

What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

What else we do in Invergowrie
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
