How we handle fire rated sealant in Fraserburgh
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help.

When to call us in Fraserburgh
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Fraserburgh, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

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 gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Private landlords in a town like Fraserburgh must keep homes wind and watertight under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a Scottish town like Fraserburgh, parking is normally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
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 email pictures if that is easy.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

FAQs for Fraserburgh
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Fraserburgh?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Fraserburgh?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
