Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hunters Quay
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps alike.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Hunters Quay, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How much there is to do
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
Need a quote? Please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before we start.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal

Hunters Quay: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Gourock station?

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Hunters Quay?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hunters Quay
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial buildings in Hunters Quay
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hunters Quay, 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Kirn Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kirn Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Gourock station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Hunters Quay depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. 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.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
