How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Rockcliffe
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Rockcliffe, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why it’s worth doing now in Rockcliffe
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common problems we fix in Rockcliffe
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For jobs in and around Rockcliffe, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.

Questions from Rockcliffe
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Rockcliffe?
Yes. Rockcliffe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Rockcliffe need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
