How fire rated sealant works in Aberdeen
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
What you’ll pay
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Commercial buildings across Aberdeen
Our fire rated sealant work across Aberdeen covers washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints, in Rosemount, Berryden and Ferryhill and well beyond. Room-by-room programmes and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Our work covers the whole of Scotland, Aberdeen included. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Aberdeen can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Aberdeen: If you look after a building such as Aberdeen Grammar School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Rutherford Church And Church Hall, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.

What sealant work can’t fix

- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
