Fire rated sealant in Mill of Fintray
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For a place like Mill of Fintray, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around Mill of Fintray, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?

- Arbo and Everbuild products

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Mill of Fintray?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Mill of Fintray?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually 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 plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
