About our fire rated sealant in Bogside
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you have holes left by a change of layout and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Bogside, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we’re called out for in Bogside
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you let a flat or house near Wishaw station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Workplaces and buildings in Bogside
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.
Schools such as Coltness High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a place like Bogside, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Bogside questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wishaw station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Bogside and the rest of North Lanarkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
