About our fire rated sealant in Sgiogarstaigh
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Sgiogarstaigh. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Workplaces and buildings in Sgiogarstaigh
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Sgiogarstaigh, 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. Work on the islands has to be planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so the more notice, the better.
In and around Sgiogarstaigh, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common problems we fix in Sgiogarstaigh
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Whether the job is in Sgiogarstaigh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

FAQs for Sgiogarstaigh
Will you come out to Sgiogarstaigh?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sgiogarstaigh?
Yes, Sgiogarstaigh is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Sgiogarstaigh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap 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 records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sgiogarstaigh
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
