Tom nan Ragh: your questions answered
Is Tom nan Ragh in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tom nan Ragh 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Tom nan Ragh?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
What else we do in Tom nan Ragh
What we are called out for in Tom nan Ragh
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as St Munn's Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Tom nan Ragh
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
