About our fire rated sealant in Pittulie
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Pittulie, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pittulie and across Aberdeenshire.

What we are called out for in Pittulie
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fraserburgh Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Outdoor work around Pittulie depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- 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.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.

Pittulie questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Pittulie within the area you cover?
Yes. Pittulie 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 tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pittulie

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Pittulie and across Aberdeenshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
