DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Wellbank may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

Yes. We cover Wellbank and the rest of Dundee. For a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Wellbank, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
