Fire rated sealant in Cramond, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: 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 that we can handle for you.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Cramond, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps

What else we do in Cramond
Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
