About our fire rated sealant in Stobswell
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Stobswell, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Stobswell
Do you work for landlords with property near Dundee station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, 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 take on hotel work around Stobswell?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Do you come to Stobswell?
We do. Our applicators work in Stobswell, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a tenement flat in Stobswell, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
