How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Kilmory, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Kilmory, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Kilmory, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kilmory
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kilmory, 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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kilmory Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Kilmory, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Kilmory
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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’s 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.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Kilmory?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Kilmory is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kilmory?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
What we are called out for in Kilmory
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
In and around Kilmory, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
