What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Kilrenny, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Fire rated sealant in Kilrenny, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Questions from Kilrenny
Do you cover smaller places like Kilrenny?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Kilrenny and the rest of Fife, along with the rest of our area.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Landlord and commercial work in Kilrenny
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What affects the quote in Kilrenny
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kilrenny
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 work involved is often modest. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Fire rated sealant around Kilrenny
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Kilrenny, 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. Kilrenny 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.
If you look after a building such as Waid Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kilrenny Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
