How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Wilkieston questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Wilkieston?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.

Near you in Wilkieston

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. 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 an older home around Wilkieston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Wilkieston need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
