About our fire rated sealant in Glenboig
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details and send photos if you have them.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Workplaces and buildings in Glenboig
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Gartcosh station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Buchanan High School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When to call us in Glenboig
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church Of Scotland, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Glenboig
Is Glenboig within the area you cover?
Yes, Glenboig is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Gartcosh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Glenboig may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Glenboig
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around Glenboig, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
