Why act early in Roadside of Kinneff

What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

What we do, step by step

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
FAQs for Roadside of Kinneff
Can you do fire rated sealant in Roadside of Kinneff?
Yes, Roadside of Kinneff is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations

- Pipe & cable gaps

Do you need fire rated sealant in Roadside of Kinneff?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as Kinneff And Catterline Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
