Fire-rated sealant in Croy, Highland
Our applicators work in Croy on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Croy need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Croy
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
Work in a place like Croy is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant in Croy: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Croy, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Inverness Airport station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Landlord and commercial work in Croy
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
What we are called out for in Croy
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Croy Parish Church Of Scotland, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Croy questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness Airport station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Croy?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
