How we handle fire rated sealant in Upper Dallachy
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In a smaller place like Upper Dallachy, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Upper Dallachy and across Moray.

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Why act early in Upper Dallachy
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a place like Upper Dallachy, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Questions from Upper Dallachy
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 is 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Dallachy?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
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 and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. For a place like Upper Dallachy, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
