About our fire rated sealant in Evanton
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Evanton, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls

Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Evanton
Do you cover smaller places like Evanton?
Yes, Evanton is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alness station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Evanton
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
In and around Evanton, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
