About our fire rated sealant in Milltown of Aberdalgie
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Milltown of Aberdalgie is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in Milltown of Aberdalgie
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a building such as Perth High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

Milltown of Aberdalgie: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Perth station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Milltown of Aberdalgie?
Yes. Milltown of Aberdalgie is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Milltown of Aberdalgie customers choose us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
