Fire rated sealant in Sandyhills
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Sandyhills, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Sandyhills: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Sandyhills?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shettleston station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sandyhills
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. For landlords in Sandyhills, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Sandyhills
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For landlords with property near Shettleston station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Sandyhills, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
