Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Strathpeffer
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Strathpeffer, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Strathpeffer, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Full insurance on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Around Strathpeffer, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Fire rated sealant in Strathpeffer: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. Strathpeffer has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Anne's Episcopal Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Strathpeffer

What we are called out for in Strathpeffer
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you let a flat or house near Conon Bridge station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Strathpeffer questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Conon Bridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Strathpeffer?
Yes. Strathpeffer is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
