DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Kirkton of Tough
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kirkton of Tough?
Yes, Kirkton of Tough is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Kirkton of Tough?
Yes. Kirkton of Tough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Kirkton of Tough and the rest of Aberdeenshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Tough
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Kirkton of Tough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
