Auldhouse questions
Is Auldhouse within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near East Kilbride station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Auldhouse
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Auldhouse, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Auldhouse
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Auldhouse, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
