Why act early in Lugar
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Lugar, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, 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.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Fire rated sealant in Lugar
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a place like Lugar, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.

For landlords with property near Auchinleck station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
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.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Lugar, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Common questions in Lugar
Do you cover smaller places like Lugar?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Auchinleck station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
