How we handle fire rated sealant in Ardersier
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In a smaller place like Ardersier, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ardersier
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Rented homes near Inverness Airport 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 the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- What product goes in the joint
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. Around Ardersier, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Common questions in Ardersier
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness Airport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Ardersier?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.

Why act early in Ardersier
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
