Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and open gaps behind door architraves, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Bruntsfield, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Bruntsfield?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Morningside United Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Bruntsfield, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Workplaces and buildings in Bruntsfield
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bruntsfield, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Haymarket station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Boroughmuir High School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
