Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
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.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
What we’re called out for in Kingsmuir
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Whether the job is in Kingsmuir itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Kingsmuir: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kingsmuir?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kingsmuir is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is 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.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not 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.
Landlord and commercial work in Kingsmuir
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
If you manage several properties in or around Kingsmuir, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Kingsmuir, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
