What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Tullos may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Commercial buildings in Tullos
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Tullos, 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. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Nigg Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Torry Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Tullos: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tullos?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Tullos?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
When to call us in Tullos
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near Aberdeen station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For fire rated sealant in Tullos, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Other services in Tullos
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tullos and across Aberdeen. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
