Cromarty Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Cromarty on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Cromarty depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Cromarty, done properly
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. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Cromarty, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cromarty
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cromarty?
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’s 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.
Do you cover Cromarty for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cromarty is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before

Fire rated sealant around Cromarty
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Cromarty, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Whether the job is in Cromarty itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Cromarty?
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 these signs:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
In and around Cromarty, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
