About our fire rated sealant in Kirkconnel
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Kirkconnel, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Kirkconnel?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for these signs:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Rented homes near Kirkconnel station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Kirkconnel: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Kirkconnel station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Kirkconnel, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

- Assessing a building’s fire safety

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. Outside jobs in Kirkconnel need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
