Fire rated sealant in Lonmore, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Lonmore, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Lonmore and across Highland.

Lonmore questions
Do you cover smaller places like Lonmore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Lonmore, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lonmore
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lonmore, 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; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Whether the job is in Lonmore itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What we’re called out for in Lonmore
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
In and around Lonmore, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Lonmore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Landlord and commercial work in Lonmore
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
