About our fire rated sealant in New Galloway
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
For a place like New Galloway, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in New Galloway
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For fire rated sealant in New Galloway, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in New Galloway

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a place like New Galloway, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why New Galloway clients choose us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Full insurance on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Your questions about fire rated sealant in New Galloway
Do you cover smaller places like New Galloway?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in New Galloway?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover New Galloway and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
