Fire rated sealant in Torridon, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Torridon, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Torridon: your questions answered
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Torridon?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a place like Torridon, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
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.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We’re fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Torridon
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For jobs in and around Torridon, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
