Inveresk: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Inveresk?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Inveresk?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you come to Inveresk?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Inveresk.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Inveresk?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Inveresk
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Inveresk, 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.
