Why act early in New Abbey
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around New Abbey, 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.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.

Fire rated sealant around New Abbey
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like New Abbey, 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. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
In and around New Abbey, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

New Abbey: your questions answered
Is New Abbey in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and New Abbey is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to New Abbey?
Yes. New Abbey is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Abbey
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around New Abbey, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we’re called out for in New Abbey
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like New Abbey Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
