How we handle fire rated sealant in Charlestown
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Charlestown, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Charlestown and across Aberdeen.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Charlestown depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Charlestown
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Charlestown, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Lochside Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Portlethen station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Charlestown is about 4 miles south of Aberdeen, in Aberdeen. From the centre of Charlestown to the outskirts, fire rated sealant is available for homes and businesses alike. Across Aberdeen, we cover 63 places, and Charlestown is one of them.

What we can’t put right

- Assessing a building’s fire safety

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a place like Charlestown, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.

Questions from Charlestown
Will you come out to Charlestown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Portlethen station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Charlestown and the rest of Aberdeen.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
