Fire-rated sealant in Viewhill, Highland
Our applicators work in Viewhill on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant in Viewhill, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and linear gaps at the head of walls, on linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Workplaces and buildings in Viewhill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Viewhill, 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Culloden Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Barn Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

FAQs for Viewhill
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Viewhill?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Inverness Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Common problems we fix in Viewhill
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Letting a property close to Inverness Airport station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Why it’s worth doing now in Viewhill
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
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’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
