Fire rated sealant in Creag Ghoraidh, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For a place like Creag Ghoraidh, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Creag Ghoraidh
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Creag Ghoraidh within the area you cover?
Yes, Creag Ghoraidh is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Creag Ghoraidh
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 round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Whether the job is in Creag Ghoraidh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What affects the quote in Creag Ghoraidh
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
