Fire rated sealant in Aberchirder, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations alike.
In a smaller place like Aberchirder, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Aberchirder questions
Do you cover smaller places like Aberchirder?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
When to call us in Aberchirder
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Around Aberchirder, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. 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.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Commercial buildings in Aberchirder
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
