How we handle fire rated sealant in Rubha Ban
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Rubha Ban
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- 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 drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rubha Ban
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Questions from Rubha Ban
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Rubha Ban?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Rubha Ban?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Rubha Ban is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Fire rated sealant in Rubha Ban: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Rubha Ban, 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. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Rubha Ban depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
