Fire rated sealant in Etteridge, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and open gaps behind door architraves, we can help.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Etteridge as everywhere else we work.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Etteridge: your questions answered
Is Etteridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Etteridge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Newtonmore station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Common problems we fix in Etteridge
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Etteridge, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Etteridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What affects the quote in Etteridge
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
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’s easy.
