Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Why act early in Tingwall
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. 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. In a place like Tingwall, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Commercial buildings in Tingwall
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tingwall, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.

Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.

Are you fully insured?

Do you take out the old sealant first?

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Tingwall depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Tingwall?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Whether the job is in Tingwall itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
