Questions from Taynuilt
Do you work for landlords with property near Taynuilt station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Taynuilt need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Taynuilt
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Taynuilt station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Do not 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.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What affects the quote in Taynuilt
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
