When to call us in Old Monkland
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For landlords with property near Kirkwood station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant in Old Monkland, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
Work in a place like Old Monkland is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. For a place like Old Monkland, longer drives are planned in advance. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Old Monkland: your questions answered
Will you come out to Old Monkland?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Kirkwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
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.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Old Monkland
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Drumpark School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
