Fire Rated Sealant in Kingussie
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Kingussie and across Highland. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kingussie
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you’re dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Kingussie, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Why act early in Kingussie
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Kingussie, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Questions from Kingussie
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kingussie?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingussie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can I choose 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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Kingussie, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
