Workplaces and buildings in Inverness
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Inverness, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Inverness. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you let a flat or house near Inverness station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Inverness
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Inverness?
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 do not 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 Inverness?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What affects the quote in Inverness
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
What we’re called out for in Inverness
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a building such as Inverness High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
