What we are called out for in North Kelvinside
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as College of Piping are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
- What the cure time is
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Kelvinside
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in North Kelvinside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- 20+ years of sealant experience
North Kelvinside questions
Do you work in hotels near North Kelvinside?
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.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in North Kelvinside?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you come to North Kelvinside?
Yes. We cover North Kelvinside, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a city area like North Kelvinside, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
