Common questions in Little Dunkeld
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is Little Dunkeld within the area you cover?
Yes. Little Dunkeld is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Fire rated sealant in Little Dunkeld, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and linear gaps at the head of walls, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a place like Little Dunkeld, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
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.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
