What else we do in Shettleston
Why it’s worth doing now in Shettleston
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Private landlords in Shettleston must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Tidy, careful work

Common questions in Shettleston
Do you cover Shettleston for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Shettleston is part of that. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job.
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Shettleston?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. 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 hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Landlord and commercial work in Shettleston
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Shettleston, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
