About our fire rated sealant in Kelvingrove
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We’re often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Kelvingrove, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

When to call us in Kelvingrove
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Kelvingrove Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelvingrove
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Private landlords in Kelvingrove 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common questions in Kelvingrove
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kelvingrove?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Exhibition Centre station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you cover Kelvingrove?
Yes, we do. Kelvingrove is part of the area we cover.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
What affects the quote in Kelvingrove
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. In Kelvingrove, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
