We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
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.

Community buildings like Church of Scotland are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. In and around Invermoriston, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Invermoriston
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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Invermoriston?
Yes, Invermoriston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first.

Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
