It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
How we handle fire rated sealant in Rubislaw
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. In Rubislaw, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the quote in Rubislaw
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Rubislaw
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
For buildings such as Rubislaw Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Surface by surface
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’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Rubislaw, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
