Strathbungo Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Strathbungo on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Private landlords in Strathbungo 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Strathbungo
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Strathbungo questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Strathbungo?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
I let a flat near Queens Park (Glasgow) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Strathbungo?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Strathbungo?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Queens Park (Glasgow) station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. For a tenement in Strathbungo, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
