What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
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.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details, and photos are welcome.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a tenement in Thornliebank, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why it’s worth doing now in Thornliebank
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Private landlords in Thornliebank 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.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Common questions in Thornliebank
Can you do fire rated sealant in Thornliebank?
Yes, Thornliebank is within the area we cover. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Thornliebank?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you are not sure, just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer.
