Fire-rated sealant in Findon, Aberdeen
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Findon, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Findon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

Common questions in Findon
Is Findon within the area you cover?
Yes. Findon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Common problems we fix in Findon
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For buildings such as Portlethen Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Findon need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs

Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
