When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Commercial buildings in Inveraray
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Inveraray, 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. Inveraray has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
In and around Inveraray, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Inveraray is about 20 miles south-east of Oban, in Argyll and Bute. From the centre of Inveraray to the outskirts, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Inveraray is one of 118 towns and villages in Argyll and Bute we cover for fire rated sealant. There’s also a page for Glasgow, about 40 miles away.
All of PA32 is covered for fire rated sealant. If you need fire rated sealant at a property on The Avenue, Foulis Road and Upper Avenue or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. You’ll find Inveraray on the A83 and A819, which makes it straightforward to reach. Close by, we work in Inbhir Aora (1 mile south-west), Strachur (4 miles south), Cairndow (5 miles east), Clachan (7 miles north-east) and Lochgoilhead (8 miles south-east). Island and remote addresses take a little more planning, so please mention your location when you email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Around Inveraray
Nearby you’ll also find Inveraray Jail (within half a mile south) and Dunderave Castle (3 miles east). Not far away are Dun na Cuaiche and Dubh Loch.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Common problems we fix in Inveraray
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Inveraray Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Common questions in Inveraray
Will you come out to Inveraray?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Inveraray?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Inveraray?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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.
