Fire rated sealant in Finnieston
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Finnieston, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Finnieston?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Finnieston?

Where are you based?

Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Inside a flat in Finnieston, 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- Fully insured
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
