Fire-rated sealant in Shewalton, North Ayrshire
We cover Shewalton for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Shewalton
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Shewalton. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Shewalton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a place like Shewalton, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

What we are called out for in Shewalton
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
