Our applicators work in Arncroach on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Arncroach
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
For a place like Arncroach, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Arncroach and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arncroach
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Arncroach
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Arncroach, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Whether the job is in Arncroach itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Arncroach may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Also in Arncroach
Do you need fire rated sealant in Arncroach?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Around Arncroach, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In a place like Arncroach, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
