Maud Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Maud and across Aberdeenshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Fire rated sealant in Maud, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. 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. If you are dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help.
In a smaller place like Maud, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Maud may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Maud?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For jobs in and around Maud, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Commercial buildings in Maud
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Around Maud, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

A little further out are Maud Junction railway station (less than half a mile east) and Brucklay Castle (1.6 miles north-west). Open spaces near Maud include Pitfour Lake.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

- Any working-time requirements on site

What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around Maud, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Maud questions
Do you cover Maud for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Maud is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Maud?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
