It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How we handle fire rated sealant in Cross
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames.
For a place like Cross, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Cross and everywhere else we cover.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cross
Will you come out to Cross?
Yes. Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cross?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cross
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Cross
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Cross, 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Scotland, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Cross (Gaelic: Cros) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We provide fire rated sealant to homeowners, landlords and businesses in Cross and the surrounding area. Our area takes in 87 places across Na h-Eileanan Siar, from the larger towns to small villages.
Work in HS2 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. If you need fire rated sealant at a property on Rathad Chros-Sgiogarstaigh, Back Street and New Street or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Other places close to Cross include North Dell (1 mile west), Nis (1 mile east), Ness (1 mile east), Lionel (2 miles north-east) and Lìonal (2 miles north-east). For island and remote addresses, the job takes a little more planning.

Well-known places in the area include Dell Mill (less than half a mile west). Green spaces nearby include Loch Langavat.
What we’re called out for in Cross
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around Cross, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
