How we handle fire rated sealant in Possilpark
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Possilpark, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Possilpark as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a tenement in Possilpark, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Possilpark
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Common problems we fix in Possilpark
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like St Aloysius' College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Possilpark
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Possilpark?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ashfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
