Why act early in Cove Bay
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a tenement flat in Cove Bay, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Cove Bay clients choose us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Commercial buildings in Cove Bay
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Cove Bay, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Lochside Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

FAQs for Cove Bay
I let a flat near Aberdeen station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Cove Bay?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you work in Cove Bay?
Yes. We cover Cove Bay and the rest of Aberdeen. For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a tenement in Cove Bay, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

When to call us in Cove Bay
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
