Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
If you’re in Tealing and need fire rated sealant, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tealing
Do you cover smaller places like Tealing?
Yes. Tealing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Tealing?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Tealing?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Tealing
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tealing
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a place like Tealing, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
