Common problems we fix in Kirkliston
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For landlords with property near Dalmeny station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

About our fire rated sealant in Kirkliston
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Work in a place like Kirkliston is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Fire rated sealant in Kirkliston: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Kirkliston, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
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. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Kirkliston Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

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
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Kirkliston questions
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dalmeny station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Kirkliston?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you come to Kirkliston?
We do. Our applicators work in Kirkliston, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Kirkliston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Read our cost guide or customer reviews.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
