Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Red Craig
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Red Craig, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Fire rated sealant in Red Craig: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Red Craig, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Forres station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Forres Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee. We cover 58 towns and villages across Moray. You can also see our page for Aberdeen, about 65 miles away.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Outside jobs in Red Craig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a place like Red Craig, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Red Craig customers choose us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
What else we do in Red Craig
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
