About our fire rated sealant in Riverside of Blairs
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Riverside of Blairs and across Aberdeen.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Riverside of Blairs depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Why act early in Riverside of Blairs
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

FAQs for Riverside of Blairs
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Riverside of Blairs?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Riverside of Blairs?
Yes, Riverside of Blairs is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial 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.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
