If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, on linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Rothesay can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Common problems we fix in Rothesay
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like Rothesay Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What else we do in Rothesay
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Rothesay
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Rothesay?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is Rothesay within the area you cover?
Yes, Rothesay is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Rothesay?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Rothesay, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
