Why act early in Bunessan
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a place like Bunessan, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- One-year guarantee on every job
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bunessan
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For a place like Bunessan, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Bunessan is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Bunessan?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bunessan
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For buildings such as Kilvickeon Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
