Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Fire rated sealant in Penpont, done properly
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Penpont, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Workplaces and buildings in Penpont
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Penpont Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Penpont
What we’re called out for in Penpont
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallace Hall Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Penpont, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Penpont may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Penpont
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Penpont?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Penpont in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Penpont is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
