The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is

Fire rated sealant in Drumnadrochit, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and linear gaps at the head of walls, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Drumnadrochit, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Drumnadrochit
Is Drumnadrochit within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Drumnadrochit?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.

Do the sealants smell?

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Drumnadrochit need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any tricky access

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Drumnadrochit
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
Why deal with it now?
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. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.

Common problems we fix in Drumnadrochit
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Glen Urquhart High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks.
