What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Jamestown 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare

What else we do in Jamestown
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

When to call us in Jamestown
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near North Queensferry station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Jamestown
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Jamestown, 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.

Managing a site like Inverkeithing High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Episcopal Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Jamestown questions
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Jamestown?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near North Queensferry station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the details for a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
