Bardowie Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Bardowie on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Bardowie
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Work in a place like Bardowie is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bardowie
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Common questions in Bardowie
Do you work for landlords with property near Milngavie station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. 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 any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Bardowie?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
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, and we install to them.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Common problems we fix in Bardowie
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boclair Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
