Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kilmore
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with old fire sealant that has split or come away and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Work in a place like Kilmore is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins.

Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Kilmore
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kilmore, 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; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oban High School, 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 Kilmore Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Kilmore?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Kilmore.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Kilmore?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Oban station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kilmore
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
