About our fire rated sealant in Strome Ferry
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Strome Ferry is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. 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 in most cases. Outdoor work around Strome Ferry depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
When to call us in Strome Ferry
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as Church Of Scotland, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Common questions in Strome Ferry
Will you come out to Strome Ferry?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
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.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In an older home around Strome Ferry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Workplaces and buildings in Strome Ferry
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Strome Ferry, 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.

There’s a railway station in Strome Ferry itself: Stromeferry station. Other landmarks nearby include Strome Castle (0.5 miles north). Not far away are Loch na Leitire.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
