Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property

- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Drinisiadar
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. Common call-outs are for gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Drinisiadar, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Drinisiadar
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Drinisiadar, 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
Around Drinisiadar, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. For jobs in and around Drinisiadar, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Drinisiadar (Gaelic: Drinishader) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. From the centre of Drinisiadar to the outskirts, fire rated sealant is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. We cover 87 towns and villages across Na h-Eileanan Siar, large and small.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
