Fire rated sealant in Broomhouse
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Work in a place like Broomhouse is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Broomhouse: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Broomhouse?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Broomhouse?
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bannerman High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What insurance they hold
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Broomhouse
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Broomhouse
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.
For buildings such as Baillieston St Andrew's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Baillieston station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
