Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Millerston
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Millerston, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Inside a flat in Millerston, 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 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What else we do in Millerston
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Millerston
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 particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Around Millerston, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

- The number of rooms or windows

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed

Why act early in Millerston
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Millerston, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
