About our fire rated sealant in Smoo
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Smoo, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Smoo
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Smoo, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For jobs in and around Smoo, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Smoo need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Common questions in Smoo
Do you cover Smoo for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Smoo is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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 fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why act early in Smoo
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Smoo, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

What we’re called out for in Smoo
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
Around Smoo, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
