About our fire rated sealant in Glensburgh
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, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Glensburgh, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glensburgh
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Common questions in Glensburgh
Is Glensburgh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Falkirk Grahamston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Glensburgh?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we are called out for in Glensburgh
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graeme High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
