St Vigeans: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Arbroath station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near St Vigeans?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in St Vigeans?
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. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
About our fire rated sealant in St Vigeans
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near St Vigeans, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Workplaces and buildings in St Vigeans
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like St Vigeans, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. St Vigeans has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Vigeans Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Arbroath High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Vigeans
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like St Vigeans may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
