About our fire rated sealant in Carrbridge
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.

- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Need a quote? Please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps

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 a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Carrbridge, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Landlord and commercial work in Carrbridge
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Landlords and agents in Carrbridge can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
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 room by room.

Will we have a record of what was sealed?

What else we do in Carrbridge
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
