Common questions in Crookston
Can you do fire rated sealant in Crookston?
Yes, Crookston is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Crookston?
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.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Fire rated sealant in Crookston
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. In Crookston, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Inside a flat in Crookston, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
