Fire-rated sealant in Craobh Haven, Argyll and Bute

- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
About our fire rated sealant in Craobh Haven
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Craobh Haven and everywhere else we cover.

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Craobh Haven, 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Craobh Haven need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
