What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in city streets around Cummings Park can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Fire rated sealant in Cummings Park
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. For a building in Cummings Park, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: 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, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cummings Park
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Schools such as Northfield Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Questions from Cummings Park
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Cummings Park?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you come to Cummings Park?
Yes. We cover Cummings Park and the rest of Aberdeen, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
