Fire rated sealant in Langside
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so jobs in Langside can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
We quote each job on its own. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details.
FAQs for Langside
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work in hotels near Langside?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you cover Langside?
Yes, we do. Our applicators work in Langside, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What we’re called out for in Langside
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like Shawlands Academy? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. Inside a flat in Langside, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
