How we handle fire rated sealant in Boddam
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Work in a place like Boddam is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

FAQs for Boddam
Can you do fire rated sealant in Boddam?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Boddam is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Boddam?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product 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.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Boddam
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. 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 damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
