Workplaces and buildings in Summerhill
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks.

Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you let a flat or house near Aberdeen station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Summerhill
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. In Summerhill, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Summerhill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aberdeen station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work in hotels near Summerhill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Summerhill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Surface by surface
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’ll tell you.
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 mention anything we notice.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in city streets around Summerhill can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Summerhill
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a building such as Oakbank School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
