- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Port Elphinstone can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Port Elphinstone depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Port Elphinstone
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Port Elphinstone. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 Inverurie station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverurie Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Port Elphinstone
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverurie station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Port Elphinstone?
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you work in Port Elphinstone?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Port Elphinstone.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Port Elphinstone
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like St Mary's Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Port Elphinstone
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a place like Port Elphinstone, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
