What happens if it’s left?
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. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

About our fire rated sealant in Greenfoot
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Work in a place like Greenfoot is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Landlord and commercial work in Greenfoot
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.

What else we do in Greenfoot
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
FAQs for Greenfoot
Do you cover smaller places like Greenfoot?
Yes. Greenfoot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Greenfoot?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Common problems we fix in Greenfoot
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Gartcosh station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
