How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Aberuthven
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. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Aberuthven, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
When to call us in Aberuthven
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a building such as Community School of Auchterarder, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Aberuthven: your questions answered
Will you come out to Aberuthven?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gleneagles station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In an older home around Aberuthven, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Aberuthven depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
