About our fire rated sealant in Turriff
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Turriff, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Turriff
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Common questions in Turriff
Do you cover smaller places like Turriff?
Yes, Turriff is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
Why it’s worth doing now in Turriff
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Turriff
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Ninian's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each 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 will tell you.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Commercial buildings in Turriff
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Turriff Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
