Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
Fire stopping in Lundin Links
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal. If you have penetration schedules that need working through and service penetrations left open after M&E works, we can help, on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers alike. Whoever orders the work in Lundin Links, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Lundin Links can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Questions we’re asked in Lundin Links
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Lundin Links?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Is Lundin Links too far out for you?
No. Places such as Lundin Links are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lundin Links is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close

Why act early in Lundin Links
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Around smaller places like Lundin Links, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
Doing it in-house
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Service penetrations in Lundin Links buildings
Three care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Lundin Links. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
At a healthcare site like Cameron Hospital, 4.1 miles south-west of Lundin Links, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Hotels like Old Manor Hotel (to the north of Lundin Links) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. At a retail site such as Riverside Retail Park, 2 miles to the south-west of Lundin Links, walls between units may be fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need the specified seal.
