Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Shiskine

Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Shiskine, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Shiskine, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
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.

What happens if it’s left?
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 work involved is often modest. In a place like Shiskine, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shiskine
Do you cover smaller places like Shiskine?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Shiskine in your area for fire rated sealant?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Shiskine?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
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, and we install to them.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Shiskine, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
