Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Mansewood? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Mansewood, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Mansewood, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Mansewood and across Glasgow.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Mansewood
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Fire rated sealant in Mansewood: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Pollokshaws Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Hillpark Secondary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Pollokshaws West station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Mansewood: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Mansewood?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Pollokshaws West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you come to Mansewood?
We do. Mansewood is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a tenement in Mansewood, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us if parking is tricky
