We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Auchenshuggle and across Glasgow. Several sites can go on one quote.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in city streets around Auchenshuggle can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Auchenshuggle?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Community buildings like Victoria Tollcross Church and Hall are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Auchenshuggle: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Auchenshuggle?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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 Carmyle station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
