About our fire rated sealant in Urquhart
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Urquhart, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
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 job gets bigger.
Common questions in Urquhart
Is Urquhart within the area you cover?
Yes, Urquhart is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 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 work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
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.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Urquhart, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Urquhart
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
