- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Lochee: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Lochee?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Dundee station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do you come to Lochee?
Yes. We work in Lochee and the rest of Dundee, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant around Lochee
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lochee, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Lochee has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as Lochee Baptist Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- Linear gaps

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Lochee, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
What we are called out for in Lochee
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Schools such as Menzieshill High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?

Why act early in Lochee
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Lochee, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
