Fire rated sealant in Ballifeary
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Ballifeary, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Ballifeary: your questions answered
Is Ballifeary 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.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Ballifeary?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Commercial buildings in Ballifeary
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ballifeary, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ballifeary. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Inverness High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ballifeary?
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ness Bank Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Why act early in Ballifeary
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
