About our fire rated sealant in Cranhill
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and open joints along the top of partitions, on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Cranhill can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. For a tenement in Cranhill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Common problems we fix in Cranhill
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
For landlords with property near Carntyne station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cranhill
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Cranhill?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cranhill is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cranhill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. For landlords in Cranhill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
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 so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
