Stewarton: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Stewarton?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near Stewarton station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
About our fire rated sealant in Stewarton
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We are often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Work in a place like Stewarton is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why act early in Stewarton
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What we’re called out for in Stewarton
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as John Knox Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
