Tarbolton: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Prestwick International Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Tarbolton?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Tarbolton
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Prestwick International Airport station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Tarbolton need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. 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.
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 and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Tarbolton
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Tarbolton Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Landlord and commercial work in Tarbolton
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
