Fire-rated sealant in Mayfield, Edinburgh
We cover Mayfield for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Mayfield
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout.
In a Scottish city, commercial sealant work covers offices, hotels, student accommodation, care homes and factored tenement blocks. In Mayfield, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Landlord and commercial work in Mayfield
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Mayfield and across Edinburgh. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
For anyone letting property in or around Mayfield, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Inside a flat in Mayfield, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What we’re called out for in Mayfield
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as Craigmillar Park Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Workplaces and buildings in Mayfield
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Mayfield, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Royal Blind School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
What affects the quote in Mayfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Common questions in Mayfield
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Mayfield?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you cover Mayfield?
Yes. We cover Mayfield and the rest of Edinburgh, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a tenement flat in Mayfield, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: a leak can come through the ceiling below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-rated joints matter to every flat.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
