Fire rated sealant in Countesswells, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Countesswells
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We quote each job on its own. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Countesswells
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Countesswells?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a place like Countesswells, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Countesswells
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; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Aberdeen station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Hazlehead Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church Of Scotland are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
