Why it’s worth doing now in Ninewells
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Private landlords in Ninewells must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.

FAQs for Ninewells
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ninewells?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ninewells?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you work in Ninewells?
Yes. We cover Ninewells and the rest of Dundee, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Ninewells
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What we are called out for in Ninewells
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 particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Menzieshill High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish.

In Ninewells, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
