The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Auldearn may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Auldearn
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Auldearn, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Auldearn
Do you work for landlords with property near Nairn station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Auldearn within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Auldearn
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Auldearn, 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. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Auldearn Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Auldearn
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For landlords with property near Nairn station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
