About our fire rated sealant in Old Drumchapel
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so work in Old Drumchapel can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Old Drumchapel
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as St David's Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Saint Andrew's High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually. Simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
What we’re called out for in Old Drumchapel
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Drumchapel station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Old Drumchapel questions
Do you cover Old Drumchapel for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Old Drumchapel is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Drumchapel station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.

It helps to know what we cannot do:

Landlord and commercial work in Old Drumchapel

Leave it or put it right?
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 doesn’t depend on other work.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
