Fire-rated sealant in Tannadice, Angus
Our applicators work in Tannadice on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Fire rated sealant in Tannadice, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
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.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tannadice
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Parish Church And Old Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Around Tannadice, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Other services in Tannadice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Tannadice?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
In and around Tannadice, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
Tannadice: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tannadice?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Tannadice is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Tannadice?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
