Fire rated sealant in New Pitsligo
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, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like New Pitsligo, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Outside jobs in New Pitsligo need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common problems we fix in New Pitsligo
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Around New Pitsligo, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant in New Pitsligo: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as St John's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around New Pitsligo, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

New Pitsligo questions
Is New Pitsligo within the area you cover?
Yes. New Pitsligo is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in New Pitsligo?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and New Pitsligo is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- 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. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
