How we handle fire rated sealant in Tannochside
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; 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. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Tannochside, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a place like Tannochside, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, 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.
Why us?
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Full insurance on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Questions from Tannochside
I let a flat near Uddingston station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Tannochside?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Tannochside, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear the area around the work

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
