Fire rated sealant in Bonar Bridge, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you are dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Bonar Bridge, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Bonar Bridge: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Bonar Bridge?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Ardgay station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Workplaces and buildings in Bonar Bridge
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bonar Bridge, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Creich Church of Scotland Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we are called out for in Bonar Bridge
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Ardgay station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a place like Bonar Bridge, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Bonar Bridge, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
