What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kelvinhaugh
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. In Kelvinhaugh, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Kelvinhaugh
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Kelvinhaugh
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much there is to do

To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Kelvinhaugh
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Private landlords in Kelvinhaugh must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Kelvinhaugh
- We’re fully insured
- 12-month guarantee on every job

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building.

- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.

Schools such as Church Street Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Exhibition Centre station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
