Fire rated sealant for Carloway, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
About our fire rated sealant in Carloway
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
In a smaller place like Carloway, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Carloway
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For jobs in and around Carloway, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
