How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and open holes round services passing through fire walls.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Fire rated sealant in Kirkpatrick Durham: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Kilquhanity School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Questions from Kirkpatrick Durham
Will you come out to Kirkpatrick Durham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Kirkpatrick Durham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kirkpatrick Durham is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Kirkpatrick Durham, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What else we do in Kirkpatrick Durham
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Kirkpatrick Durham
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
In and around Kirkpatrick Durham, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
