How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. For a job in Kirkintilloch, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outdoor jobs need a dry day, so they can move if the weather turns.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Kirkintilloch, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Kirkintilloch. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, but whatever the building, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the product’s tested details. Whether it’s a hotel, a school or an office in Kirkintilloch, that is how it’s fitted.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Questions from Kirkintilloch
Do you cover Kirkintilloch for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Kirkintilloch is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lenzie station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Common problems we fix in Kirkintilloch
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Lenzie station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Kirkintilloch
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. If you live in a flat in Kirkintilloch, failed sealant can send water to the neighbours below, and that is much harder to put right.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
