Greengairs: your questions answered
Will you come out to Greengairs?
Yes, Greengairs is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Cumbernauld station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Greengairs and the rest of North Lanarkshire, along with the rest of our area.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Greengairs?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Greengairs
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Other services in Greengairs
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Around Greengairs, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
When to call us in Greengairs
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Around Greengairs, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Greengairs
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Cumbernauld station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
