Fire-rated sealant in Drumchapel, Glasgow
We cover Drumchapel for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. Inside a flat in Drumchapel, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

About our fire rated sealant in Drumchapel
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Drumchapel can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
Do you need fire rated sealant in Drumchapel?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like St David's Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
