What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
About our fire stopping in Maryburgh
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. If you have expanding foam used as fire stopping and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can put it right, on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Maryburgh from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Maryburgh, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Maryburgh is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Fire-rated sealing for Maryburgh buildings
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, and products should be tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. Maryburgh has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
For a hospital such as Ross Memorial Hospital, 1.7 miles north-east of Maryburgh, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. Schools such as Dingwall Academy often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards. For a hotel such as Conon Hotel, less than half a mile to the south of Maryburgh, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.

What happens if it’s left?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Maryburgh before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Common questions from Maryburgh clients
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Maryburgh?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ross Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
