How we handle fire rated sealant in Port Glasgow
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help.
If you run a hotel, guest house or care home in Port Glasgow, room-by-room resealing can be planned around guests or residents.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Port Glasgow
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Scottish weather finds any gap, and in a town like Port Glasgow, failed outside joints soon let damp into walls. Inside, a failed seal around a bath or shower lets water into floors and ceilings.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Port Glasgow, tell us where the work is, how to get in and where to park. Outside work depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote

Advice
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps

- Service penetrations
Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Glasgow
