Fire Rated Sealant in Inverarity
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for Inverarity, backed by a 12-month guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. 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.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Inverarity
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Inverarity
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Inverarity Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Inverarity, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.

Common questions in Inverarity
Is Inverarity within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
