How we handle fire rated sealant in Tillydrone
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Tillydrone, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeen.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Tillydrone: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Tillydrone?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Tillydrone?
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 is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Tillydrone
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint on the outside of a city building, and in a tall building in Tillydrone, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Tillydrone
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Joseph's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a tenement in Tillydrone, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
