Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Craigmore
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Craigmore, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Craigmore
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like Trinity Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
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.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: 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 Craigmore
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Craigmore, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Rothesay Academy? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Common questions in Craigmore
Do you work in hotels near Craigmore?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to Craigmore?
Yes, Craigmore is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Outside jobs in Craigmore need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
