About our fire rated sealant in Kingswells
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Kingswells, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When to call us in Kingswells
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church Of Scotland, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kingswells
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kingswells?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kingswells?
Yes, Kingswells is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswells
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Fully insured
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
