How we handle fire rated sealant in Garrowhill
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
Work in a place like Garrowhill is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
FAQs for Garrowhill
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Garrowhill?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near Garrowhill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Garrowhill?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Garrowhill?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
Schools such as Bannerman High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is

Why it’s worth doing now in Garrowhill
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Garrowhill may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
