Common questions in Newtonhill
Do you cover smaller places like Newtonhill?
Yes. Newtonhill 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portlethen station?

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Newtonhill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Newtonhill, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Portlethen station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Saint Ternan's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Portlethen Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Newtonhill, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
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, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
