What we are called out for in Lundin Links
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Rented homes near Leven station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
What fire rated sealant looks like in Lundin Links
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lundin Links, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
In and around Lundin Links, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lundin Links
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. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Lundin Links depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Questions from Lundin Links
Do you work in hotels near Lundin Links?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Leven station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Lundin Links?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
