Fire rated sealant in Ardgay
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. 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 anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Ardgay: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ardgay station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Ardgay within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Fire rated sealant in Ardgay: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ardgay, 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. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Around Ardgay, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Letting a property close to Ardgay station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Ardgay is about 28 miles north-west of Nairn, in Highland. We provide fire rated sealant to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Ardgay and the surrounding area, as part of our work across Highland. Across Highland, we cover 253 places, and Ardgay is one of them.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Around Ardgay, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- 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 about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
More services for Ardgay
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
