Leave it or put it right?
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. Around Ceann Loch Gilb, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Fire rated sealant in Ceann Loch Gilb
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
