What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kingoodie
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
Work in a place like Kingoodie is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Why act early in Kingoodie
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a place like Kingoodie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We’re fully insured
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Kingoodie: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kingoodie?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. 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 cover smaller places like Kingoodie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Fire rated sealant in Kingoodie: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kingoodie, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Menzieshill High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Souls Episcopal Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What’s near Kingoodie
The closest station to Kingoodie is Invergowrie station, roughly 0.6 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Tayside Medical History Museum (3.2 miles east) and Castle Huntly (2.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Trottick Mill Ponds and Rossie Lake.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Common problems we fix in Kingoodie
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
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.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
