Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Pollok
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Pollok, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we are called out for in Pollok
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you let a flat or house near Priesthill & Darnley station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Pollok, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Pollok
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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.
Is Pollok in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Pollok is part of that. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Private landlords in Pollok must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. 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. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Around Pollok
In Pollok, that means homes and buildings near Pollok Country Park. The nearest railway station is Priesthill & Darnley station, roughly 0.9 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Leverndale Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and Hawkhead Castle (1.3 miles north-west).
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
