Fire rated sealant around Ceann Tangabhal
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ceann Tangabhal, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Community buildings like Church of our Lady are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Castlebay Community School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Ceann Tangabhal
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Ceann Tangabhal, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ceann Tangabhal
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Ceann Tangabhal, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a place like Ceann Tangabhal, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
