Related advice
Fire rated sealant in Cameron Toll, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Cameron Toll, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Common questions in Cameron Toll
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Cameron Toll?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I let a flat near Edinburgh Waverley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cameron Toll?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
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.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Why act early in Cameron Toll
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Cameron Toll
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Craigmillar Park Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
