About our fire rated sealant in Strichen
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; 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 work to the manufacturer’s details. We’re often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strichen
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Strichen
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a place like Strichen, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Advice
What we are called out for in Strichen
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints' Episcopal Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
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.
What affects the quote in Strichen
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Strichen: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Strichen?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Strichen?
Yes, Strichen is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
