What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Trinafour
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Trinafour. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We are often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Trinafour, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Questions from Trinafour
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Trinafour?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Trinafour within the area you cover?
Yes. Trinafour is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
When to call us in Trinafour
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Whether the job is in Trinafour itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

- How much experience the applicator has

- How long the guarantee is
Why it’s worth doing now in Trinafour
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
