Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Dreghorn?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Dreghorn depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Fire rated sealant around Dreghorn
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dreghorn, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Irvine station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Dreghorn
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Irvine station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you come to Dreghorn?
We do. Dreghorn is part of the area we cover.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
