Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Carndu
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Carndu, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Fire rated sealant around Carndu
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Carndu, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks.

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

What we’re called out for in Carndu
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
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.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Around Carndu, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

FAQs for Carndu
I let a flat near Stromeferry station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Carndu?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Carndu and the rest of Highland, along with the rest of our area.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Carndu
- Full insurance on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Over 20 years’ experience

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
