Pitmedden questions
Is Pitmedden in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Pitmedden is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Pitmedden?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Pitmedden?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Pitmedden and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Pitmedden 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the quote in Pitmedden
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
