Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Landlords, agents and businesses in Braepark
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. In Braepark, it helps to know the floor, the door entry arrangements and the nearest parking.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Braepark questions
Do you cover Braepark for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Braepark is within the area we cover. We work across all of Scotland. You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edinburgh Gateway station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Workplaces and buildings in Braepark
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Braepark, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Braepark
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’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a tenement flat in Braepark, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Braepark
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
If you look after a building such as Craigmount High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
