Fire rated sealant in Bunnahabhain, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. Typical jobs include standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Bunnahabhain, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Common questions in Bunnahabhain
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bunnahabhain?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Bunnahabhain is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Bunnahabhain?
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 work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

When something else is needed

- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a place like Bunnahabhain, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- More than 20 years in sealant work

What we’re called out for in Bunnahabhain
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
Around Bunnahabhain, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
