Fire Rated Sealant in Rosemarkie
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for householders, landlords and businesses in Rosemarkie. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
About our fire rated sealant in Rosemarkie
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Rosemarkie is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Rosemarkie can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
FAQs for Rosemarkie
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Inverness Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
What else we do in Rosemarkie
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Commercial buildings in Rosemarkie
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rosemarkie, 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, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rosemarkie
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 a place like Rosemarkie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

What we’re called out for in Rosemarkie
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey

For buildings such as Rosemarkie Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
