How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Portlethen Village
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Portlethen Village
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Managing a site like Portlethen Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- How long the guarantee is

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Portlethen Village, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Portlethen Village: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Portlethen Village, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Portlethen station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Portlethen Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
FAQs for Portlethen Village
Will you come out to Portlethen Village?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Portlethen Village?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
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.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Portlethen Village?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
