Fire rated sealant in An t-Ollach
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations alike.
Work in a place like An t-Ollach is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Do you need fire rated sealant in An t-Ollach?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around An t-Ollach, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What affects the quote in An t-Ollach

Your questions about fire rated sealant in An t-Ollach
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in An t-Ollach?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 cover smaller places like An t-Ollach?
Yes. An t-Ollach is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in An t-Ollach?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like An t-Ollach, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
