Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Dundonald
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Dundonald, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a place like Dundonald, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Questions from Dundonald
Do you work for landlords with property near Barassie station?
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.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Dundonald?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.

Can I do it myself?
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.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Dundonald
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Look out for these signs:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Dundonald Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
