Quotes for fire rated sealant in Kirriemuir
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Fire rated sealant in Kirriemuir, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For a place like Kirriemuir, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

FAQs for Kirriemuir
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kirriemuir?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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 work for hotels and guest houses in Kirriemuir?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
