Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Ardvasar
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Questions from Ardvasar
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ardvasar?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mallaig station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ardvasar
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Around Ardvasar, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Landlord and commercial work in Ardvasar

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
