How we handle fire rated sealant in Girvan
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Work in a place like Girvan is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Around Girvan, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the quote in Girvan
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Workplaces and buildings in Girvan
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Girvan, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Girvan station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Girvan Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Will you come out to Girvan?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
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.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
