Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Kinglassie
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
For a place like Kinglassie, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. Around Kinglassie, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Questions from Kinglassie
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cardenden station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you cover Kinglassie?
Yes. We cover Kinglassie and the rest of Fife. For a quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What we are called out for in Kinglassie
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a building such as Glenwood High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
