How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
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. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Moodiesburn
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Moodiesburn, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Moodiesburn questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will you come out to Moodiesburn?
Yes, Moodiesburn is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Workplaces and buildings in Moodiesburn

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Moodiesburn
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chryston High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
