How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Arradoul need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we handle fire rated sealant in Arradoul
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and linear gaps at the head of walls, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Arradoul, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Arradoul and everywhere else we cover.

Arradoul questions
Will you come out to Arradoul?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Arradoul in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Arradoul is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Landlord and commercial work in Arradoul
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Arradoul, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Workplaces and buildings in Arradoul
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Arradoul, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
In and around Arradoul, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
What we are called out for in Arradoul
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buckie High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
