Common questions in Skye of Curr
Is Skye of Curr within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Skye of Curr for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Skye of Curr is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Skye of Curr
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Skye of Curr. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Skye of Curr
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Outdoor work around Skye of Curr depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
