Fire rated sealant in Greenock West
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Greenock West, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Greenock West and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Greenock West
Landlord and commercial work in Greenock West
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Greenock West, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Workplaces and buildings in Greenock West
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Greenock West, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Greenock West station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Greenock Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Greenock West
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Greenock West station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Greenock West?
Yes. Greenock West is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and 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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Greenock West, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
