About our fire rated sealant in Fort Augustus
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and open gaps behind door architraves, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Fort Augustus, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Fort Augustus, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Fort Augustus: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Around Fort Augustus, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kilchuimen Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Fort Augustus is about 28 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. Wherever you are in the PH32 postcode area, we cover fire rated sealant for homes and businesses. Fort Augustus is one of 253 towns and villages in Highland we cover. You can also see our page for Dundee, about 79 miles away.

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Lovat Hotel and the streets around them. Not far away are Murligan Hill and Loch Uanagan.
Why act early in Fort Augustus
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Fort Augustus: your questions answered
Will you come out to Fort Augustus?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can 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 you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
