Fire rated sealant in Springboig
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Springboig, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Springboig
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Shettleston station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant around Springboig
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's Secondary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Serf's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a tenement in Springboig, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why it’s worth doing now in Springboig
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Private landlords in Springboig must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
