How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Summerston
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Summerston, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

FAQs for Summerston
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.
Is Summerston in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across all of Scotland, and Summerston is part of that. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Summerston
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a tenement flat in Summerston, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a tenement in Summerston, 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
