Fire rated sealant in Tarbert: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tarbert, 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. Island jobs need planning around ferries and the weather, so give us as much notice as you can.
Whether the job is in Tarbert itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish. Around Tarbert, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Tarbert questions
Do you cover Tarbert for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tarbert is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Is Tarbert within the area you cover?
Yes, Tarbert is covered. We work across all of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Tarbert.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tarbert
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Tarbert, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
