About our fire rated sealant in Priesthill
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Priesthill can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Priesthill
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; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as St. Paul's High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When to call us in Priesthill
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Letting a property close to Nitshill station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Priesthill questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Priesthill?
Yes, Priesthill 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 will send you a clear quote.
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Why act early in Priesthill
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. For landlords in Priesthill, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What affects the quote in Priesthill
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
