What affects the quote in Taobh Lochaidh
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Taobh Lochaidh
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Taobh Lochaidh, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Lochaber High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- Are they insured?

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Taobh Lochaidh, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

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, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?

Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
