Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Gallowgate
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Gallowgate can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gallowgate as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Gallowgate
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a building such as St Mungo's Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Questions from Gallowgate
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Gallowgate?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Gallowgate?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Gallowgate and the rest of Glasgow.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Gallowgate?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gallowgate
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Gallowgate, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
