Do you need fire rated sealant in Newbigging?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Newbigging Parish Church And War Memorial are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

About our fire rated sealant in Newbigging
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For a place like Newbigging, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you’re in Newbigging and need fire rated sealant, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally 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.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
