Fire-rated sealant in Inchree, Highland
Fire rated sealant across Inchree and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Fire rated sealant in Inchree
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Inchree, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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 we start.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Inchree and across Highland. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Inchree
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a place like Inchree, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Inchree: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Inchree?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you take on hotel work around Inchree?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you work in Inchree?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Inchree.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
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 will say how long yours will take.
When to call us in Inchree
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Around Inchree, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
