Croftfoot Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Croftfoot for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
How we handle fire rated sealant in Croftfoot
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Croftfoot, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.

Common questions in Croftfoot
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Croftfoot?
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.
Do you cover Croftfoot for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Croftfoot is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
