Fire-rated sealant in Wick, Highland
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Wick and across Highland. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
About our fire rated sealant in Wick
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
Work in a place like Wick is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Wick and across Highland.

Workplaces and buildings in Wick
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Wick, 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. Wick has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Wick High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Wick is in Highland. If you need fire rated sealant in Wick, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for a quick quote. We cover Highland from our Crawley base. We cover 253 towns and villages across Highland, large and small.
Work in KW1 is quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes and businesses on Market Street, Argyle Square and High Street and the roads around them. With the A99 and A882 close by, Wick is easy for our applicators to reach. Other places close to Wick include Whiterow (1 mile south), Staxigoe (1 mile north-east), Ackergillshore (2 miles north), Haster (3 miles west) and Reiss (3 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Highland, Wick has every kind of property, from flats to offices. For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Local landmarks in Wick
We work in homes and buildings around The Alexander Bain pub and Bignold Park, among other places. There’s a railway station in Wick itself: Wick station. Nearby you will also find Wick Heritage Museum (less than half a mile south-west) and Castle of Old Wick (1.2 miles south). Not far away are Loch Hempriggs.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Wick
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Letting a property close to Wick station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Wick: your questions answered
Is Wick within the area you cover?
Yes, Wick is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Wick?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wick
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. 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.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, 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.
