Fire rated sealant in Blackhill
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Blackhill, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Private landlords in Blackhill must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Blackhill
I let a flat near Alexandra Parade station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Blackhill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Blackhill is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Blackhill?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Alexandra Parade station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
