How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
To get a quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Fire rated sealant in Garthdee, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so jobs in Garthdee can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Questions from Garthdee
Do you take on hotel work around Garthdee?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Garthdee?
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.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in city streets around Garthdee can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Why it’s worth doing now in Garthdee
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in Garthdee, damp can spread through stone and plaster before anyone sees it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Fire rated sealant in Garthdee: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Garthdee, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Airyhall Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
