Cults Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Cults need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Fire rated sealant in Cults, done properly
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 are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Cults, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Cults
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like Cults Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- 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, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
FAQs for Cults
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Related advice
Landlord and commercial work in Cults
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
