Fire rated sealant in Newtyle
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Newtyle, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we’re called out for in Newtyle
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Around Newtyle, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Questions from Newtyle
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Newtyle?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Newtyle?
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.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
