How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Fire rated sealant in Skelbo Muir, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In a smaller place like Skelbo Muir, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Skelbo Muir
I let a flat near Golspie station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Skelbo Muir?
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
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.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Skelbo Muir?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.

Other services in Skelbo Muir
Why act early in Skelbo Muir
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a place like Skelbo Muir, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
