Why it’s worth doing now in Ballachulish
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In an older home around Ballachulish, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Common questions in Ballachulish
Do you cover Ballachulish for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Ballachulish is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ballachulish?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a place like Ballachulish, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Fire rated sealant in Ballachulish: local notes

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
