About our fire rated sealant in Mallaig
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why act early in Mallaig
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Mallaig, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
When to call us in Mallaig
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a building such as Mallaig High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What fire rated sealant looks like in Mallaig
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Mallaig, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Roman Catholic Church Of St Patrick are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Mallaig station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
