Fire rated sealant in Menzieshill
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Menzieshill, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Menzieshill, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Menzieshill
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Invergowrie station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. For a tenement in Menzieshill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
