Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Juniper Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In a smaller place like Juniper Green, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.

What affects the quote in Juniper Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and describe the job.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Juniper Green
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Around Juniper Green, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a place like Juniper Green, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Juniper Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wester Hailes station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Juniper Green?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Juniper Green, along with the rest of our area.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Outdoor work around Juniper Green depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- 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.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlord and commercial work in Juniper Green
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Juniper Green and across Edinburgh. Several sites can be quoted together.
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.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Workplaces and buildings in Juniper Green
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Wester Hailes station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
