About our fire rated sealant in Hillington
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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Hillington can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with

Advice
Common problems we fix in Hillington
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as St Nicholas' Cardonald Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hillington
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Hillington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hillington is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Private landlords in Hillington must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
