Crathes questions
Is Crathes within the area you cover?
Yes, Crathes is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Crathes for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Crathes is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Crathes?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Crathes
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. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Crathes, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Commercial buildings in Crathes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
In and around Crathes, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Whether the job is in Crathes itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.

What else we do in Crathes
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around Crathes, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.
