Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Fire rated sealant in Ardeer
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Typical jobs include gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Ardeer
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Stevenston station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ardeer
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ardeer, 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. 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.
For buildings such as Ardeer Church Of Scotland, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Glencairn Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Local landmarks in Ardeer
Typical jobs here are in homes near Auchenharvie Academy and Stevenston Beach and the streets around them. Ardeer’s nearest station is Stevenston station, about 0.9 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Kerelaw Castle (1.7 miles north-west) and Woodland View (2.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Stevenston Loch.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Questions from Ardeer
Is Ardeer within the area you cover?
Yes. Ardeer is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Stevenston station. Can you help?
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
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, and we install to them.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Ardeer depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
