What affects the quote in Dean Village
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant in Dean Village, 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 work to the manufacturer’s details. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Dean Village can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations

Common questions in Dean Village
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. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. 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 Haymarket station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a short description of the job.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Dean Village.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Common problems we fix in Dean Village
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Schools such as St Mary's Music School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a city area like Dean Village, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
