It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated

- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking in city streets around Robroyston can be tight or controlled, so it helps to know about permits or nearby bays. If you are in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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 records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Surface by surface
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.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. For landlords in Robroyston, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Robroyston questions
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Robroyston station. Can you help?
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’ll give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
