Common problems we fix in Chapelton
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For landlords with property near Portlethen station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will 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. Outside jobs in Chapelton need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Commercial buildings in Chapelton
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Chapelton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portlethen Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Saint Ternan's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Chapelton: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Chapelton?
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.
I let a flat near Portlethen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
