DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Kinnesswood
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a place like Kinnesswood is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Questions from Kinnesswood
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kinnesswood?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kinnesswood?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Kinnesswood is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, 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. Around Kinnesswood, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Kinnesswood
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 work involved is often modest. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What else we do in Kinnesswood
Common problems we fix in Kinnesswood
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as Easter Balgedie church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
