Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tighnabruaich
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In a smaller place like Tighnabruaich, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Tighnabruaich, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why act early in Tighnabruaich
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Tighnabruaich
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tighnabruaich, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Around Tighnabruaich, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Tighnabruaich
Will you come out to Tighnabruaich?
Yes. Tighnabruaich is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Tighnabruaich?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What we’re called out for in Tighnabruaich
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
