Common questions in Barmulloch
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Is Barmulloch in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Barmulloch is part of that. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Barmulloch
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
In and around Barmulloch, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you let a flat or house near Barnhill station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
