How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Common problems we fix in Maybury
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Craigmount High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maybury
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Maybury, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What fire rated sealant looks like in Maybury
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Maybury, 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. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Gateway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
