Fire-rated sealant in Craigton, Glasgow
Our applicators work in Craigton on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Why it’s worth doing now in Craigton
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a tenement flat in Craigton, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in city streets around Craigton can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.

Advice
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Craigton
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Cardonald station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

FAQs for Craigton
Do you cover Craigton for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Craigton is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Cardonald station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
