Commercial buildings in An t-Aodann Ban
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like An t-Aodann Ban, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Fire rated sealant in An t-Aodann Ban, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near An t-Aodann Ban, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Your questions about fire rated sealant in An t-Aodann Ban
Is An t-Aodann Ban in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and An t-Aodann Ban is part of that. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Is An t-Aodann Ban within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around An t-Aodann Ban, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Fully insured
