About our fire rated sealant in Marywell
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a place like Marywell, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

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.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
What we’re called out for in Marywell
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Managing a site like Portlethen Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Marywell questions
Do you cover smaller places like Marywell?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Marywell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
