Fire rated sealant in Mastrick, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. In Mastrick, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Mastrick
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a building such as Northfield Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In a city area like Mastrick, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Mastrick: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Mastrick?
Yes, Mastrick is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
