Common problems we fix in Toward

Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.

People usually contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Gaps left after a refit or conversion
  • Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
  • Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
  • Linear gaps at the head of walls

If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Toward Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Before booking anyone

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How much experience the applicator has
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether they’re fully insured

Our hiring checklist

Surface by surface

Linear gaps

Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.

Service penetrations

Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.

Why it’s worth doing now in Toward

A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Toward, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Why choose Mr Mastic in Toward

  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • More than 20 years in sealant work
  • Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work

See our cost guide and what customers say.

The process

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.

  1. We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
  2. Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
  4. Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
  5. Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Fire rated sealant in Toward: local notes

If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Toward, 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

For landlords with property near Wemyss Bay station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
