About our fire rated sealant in Nethy Bridge
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and open gaps behind door architraves, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Nethy Bridge, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Nethy Bridge and across Highland.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Outdoor work around Nethy Bridge depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Community buildings like Abernethy Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.

Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Common questions in Nethy Bridge
Do you cover smaller places like Nethy Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Nethy Bridge?

Common problems we fix in Nethy Bridge
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Around Nethy Bridge, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
