FAQs for Grantown-on-Spey
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Grantown-on-Spey?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Grantown-on-Spey?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you cover Grantown-on-Spey?
Yes, we do. Grantown-on-Spey is part of the area we cover.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Around Grantown-on-Spey, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Grantown-on-Spey
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Around Grantown-on-Spey, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Grantown-on-Spey
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
