What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Fire stopping in Newton, done properly
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Newton is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a building near Newton, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Commercial clients in Newton
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Newton with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Advice
Compartment walls and floors in Newton
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Dr Gray's Hospital (2.5 miles east of Newton) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. For a building such as Spynie Parish Church and Enclosing Walls, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.

Questions we are asked in Newton
Is a hospital such as Dr Gray's Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Newton?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Do you need fire stopping in Newton?
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are the usual culprits.
Look out for the following:
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
For a unit at a centre such as St Giles Centre (3 miles east of Newton), penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
