Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in An Druim Beag
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near An Druim Beag, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

An Druim Beag questions
Do you cover An Druim Beag for fire rated sealant?
Yes, An Druim Beag is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to An Druim Beag?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlords, agents and businesses in An Druim Beag
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Landlords and agents in An Druim Beag can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Common problems we fix in An Druim Beag
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For jobs in and around An Druim Beag, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
