Fire rated sealant in Craignure, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Craignure
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps

- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
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. In an older home around Craignure, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Craignure?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Around Craignure, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Craignure depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Craignure
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Craignure, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Torosay Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Questions from Craignure
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Craignure?
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 do not 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 fire rated sealant in Craignure?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Craignure 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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
