Do you need fire rated sealant in Kilmaluag?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Whether the job is in Kilmaluag itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Kilmaluag need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

Keeping the joints in good condition

- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps

What else we do in Kilmaluag
Why it’s worth doing now in Kilmaluag
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Kilmaluag, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
