Fire rated sealant in Banchory, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
For a place like Banchory, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Commercial buildings in Banchory
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Banchory. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Banchory Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Banchory Ternan East Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Around Banchory

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Around Banchory, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Banchory
Do you take on hotel work around Banchory?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Banchory?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Landlord and commercial work in Banchory
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Banchory and across Aberdeenshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
