How we handle fire rated sealant in Peterhead
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. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open joints along the top of partitions, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Commercial jobs in a town like Peterhead range from shops and offices to schools, hotels and care homes, each with washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant around Peterhead
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Peterhead, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Peterhead has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Whether the job is in Peterhead itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Peterhead, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Peterhead: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Peterhead?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work in hotels near Peterhead?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In flats with a shared stair in Peterhead, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, which turns a small job into a bigger one.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Peterhead is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
