We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kincraig
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a place like Kincraig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What it costs 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 we start, so you know where you stand.
Why Kincraig customers choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kincraig
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kincraig?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Will you come out to Kincraig?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kincraig?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
