About our fire rated sealant in Innellan
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Innellan, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute.

Fire rated sealant around Innellan
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Innellan, 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, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Wemyss Bay station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Innellan
What we are called out for in Innellan
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
In and around Innellan, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

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 before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
What affects the quote in Innellan
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
FAQs for Innellan
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will you come out to Innellan?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Innellan depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
