Fire Rated Sealant in Hallglen
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Hallglen? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Hallglen need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Why it’s worth doing now in Hallglen

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Falkirk High station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Tattie Kirk, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Comely Park School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Common questions in Hallglen
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Hallglen?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Hallglen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
