About our fire rated sealant in Ardentinny
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a place like Ardentinny, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Ardentinny
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What else we do in Ardentinny
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardentinny
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In an older home around Ardentinny, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ardentinny?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Garelochhead station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

Advice
FAQs for Ardentinny
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Ardentinny?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
