How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
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.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Royston
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Royston, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Royston and across Glasgow.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a city area like Royston, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Workplaces and buildings in Royston
Royston has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Barnhill station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Townhead and Blochairn Parish Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a tenement flat in Royston, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Royston
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as St. Roch's Secondary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Royston
Do you work in hotels near Royston?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barnhill station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
