Signs you need fire rated sealant in Garioch
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Inverurie Academy? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why it’s worth doing now in Garioch
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Garioch, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Garioch clients choose us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Garioch
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Garioch?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverurie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Garioch need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
