How we handle fire rated sealant in Clachan of Campsie
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Clachan of Campsie, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What we’re called out for in Clachan of Campsie
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Rented homes near Milngavie station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

FAQs for Clachan of Campsie
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Milngavie station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and 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.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
What affects the quote in Clachan of Campsie
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
