Questions from Wormit
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Dundee station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Wormit within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
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 should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Wormit
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Work in a place like Wormit is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Wormit and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. 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.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Wormit
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Wormit, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
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.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Wormit?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a building such as Harris Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
