The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Why act early in Cullicudden
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a place like Cullicudden, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Why us?
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Common problems we fix in Cullicudden
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Cullicudden Church and burial ground, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Cullicudden: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alness station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cullicudden?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you cover Cullicudden?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Cullicudden.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cullicudden
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
