FAQs for Fergushill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kilwinning station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Fergushill?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant in Fergushill
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire.

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

When to call us in Fergushill
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Schools such as Irvine Royal Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of 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. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. Around Fergushill, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
