About our fire rated sealant in Ardbeg
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and open gaps behind door architraves.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Ardbeg may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Ardbeg: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ardbeg?
Yes, Ardbeg is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ardbeg?
Yes. Ardbeg is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
When to call us in Ardbeg
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
For jobs in and around Ardbeg, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
