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.
Flats and HMOs

About our fire rated sealant in Thrumster
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Thrumster
Do you work for landlords with property near Wick station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. For a place like Thrumster, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Thrumster
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
In and around Thrumster, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Thrumster and across Highland. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
