About our fire rated sealant in Duntocher
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Duntocher and everywhere else we cover.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Duntocher can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
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.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Questions from Duntocher
Do you work for landlords with property near Kilpatrick station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Duntocher?
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.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Duntocher
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clydebank High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In an older home around Duntocher, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
