Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- We’re fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Fire rated sealant in Keith, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Keith, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we are called out for in Keith
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Keith station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Keith
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Keith depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Fire rated sealant in Keith: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. Keith has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Keith Grammar School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St Rufus Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Common questions in Keith
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
I let a flat near Keith station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
