Dalmarnock Fire Rated Sealant
We cover Dalmarnock for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a tenement flat in Dalmarnock, 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.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll talk you through it.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Dalmarnock
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
How we handle fire rated sealant in Dalmarnock
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Dalmarnock, 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 anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Landlord and commercial work in Dalmarnock
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Dalmarnock and across Glasgow. Several sites can go on one quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Dalmarnock can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Don’t 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.
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 we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in city streets around Dalmarnock 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What else we do in Dalmarnock
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
When to call us in Dalmarnock
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For landlords with property near Dalmarnock station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
