If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
What affects the quote in Oban
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
FAQs for Oban
Will you come out to Oban?
Yes. Oban is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Oban?
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Oban
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 round the new service is not always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Managing a site like Oban High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why act early in Oban
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a place like Oban, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
