About our fire rated sealant in Glengolly
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 apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Work in a place like Glengolly is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
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.
FAQs for Glengolly
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Glengolly?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thurso station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glengolly
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Glengolly: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Glengolly, 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. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Thurso station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Thurso High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there.

Outside jobs in Glengolly need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
