Fire-rated sealant in Inverasdale, Highland
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Inverasdale? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Fire rated sealant in Inverasdale
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a place like Inverasdale is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Inverasdale as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common problems we fix in Inverasdale
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Around Inverasdale, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Inverasdale questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Inverasdale?
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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Inverasdale?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Inverasdale is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
