Common questions in Dalmeny
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 Dalmeny station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Fire rated sealant in Dalmeny, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are holes left by a change of layout and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a smaller place like Dalmeny, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

When to call us in Dalmeny
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Queensferry High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Dalmeny may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
How to get a quote

What affects the quote in Dalmeny
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before

Why it’s worth doing now in Dalmeny

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
