Fire rated sealant in Burnhouse, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you’re dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Burnhouse, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Burnhouse, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What affects the quote in Burnhouse
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burnhouse
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Fully insured

Questions from Burnhouse
I let a flat near Dunlop station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Burnhouse?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Burnhouse?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Burnhouse
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clandeboye School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
