Do you need fire rated sealant in Cambuslang?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as Carmyle Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Is VAT in the price?
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Cambuslang questions
Is Cambuslang in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cambuslang is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. In a Scottish town like Cambuslang, parking is generally straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
