Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Birsemore
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Aboyne Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Birsemore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs 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.

Common questions in Birsemore
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover Birsemore for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Birsemore is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take 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.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Birsemore
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like St Machar's Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Birsemore may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
