How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Doonfoot need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How we handle fire rated sealant in Doonfoot
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Doonfoot, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Doonfoot questions
Is Doonfoot within the area you cover?
Yes. Doonfoot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Doonfoot?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not 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 behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps

Workplaces and buildings in Doonfoot
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Doonfoot, 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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Alloway Kirk, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Wellington School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Ayr station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What else we do in Doonfoot
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
