About our fire rated sealant in New Alyth
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For a place like New Alyth, 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 one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in New Alyth
Do you cover smaller places like New Alyth?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in New Alyth?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover New Alyth and the rest of Perth and Kinross, along with the rest of our area.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Fire rated sealant around New Alyth
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. New Alyth has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Community buildings like St Ninian's Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. In and around New Alyth, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
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, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around New Alyth depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
