About our fire rated sealant in Dingwall
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you’re dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Dingwall, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When to call us in Dingwall
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dingwall Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dingwall
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Dingwall
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Workplaces and buildings in Dingwall
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dingwall, 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, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like St Lawrence's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Dingwall station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
