Questions from Arinagour
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Arinagour?
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 is 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.
Is Arinagour in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Arinagour is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial 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.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Arinagour?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Arinagour
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Arinagour, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Arinagour depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
When to call us in Arinagour
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as Coll Parish Church (Church Of Scotland), gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Arinagour, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
