About our fire rated sealant in Portessie
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Portessie. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Portessie need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why act early in Portessie
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every 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. Call for a quick quote.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work

Portessie questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Portessie?
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’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Portessie?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Portessie
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Portessie, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Buckie High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Portessie
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
