Midmar questions
Do you cover smaller places like Midmar?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Midmar?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Midmar is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Midmar
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and holes left by a change of layout.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Midmar, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Midmar
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Around Midmar, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Midmar may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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 gap 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.
Getting ready for the visit

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Midmar
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
