Fire rated sealant in Morningside, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Morningside, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Commercial buildings in Morningside
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. Morningside has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Iain Tomlin School of Music, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Matthew's Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Slateford station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why it’s worth doing now in Morningside
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Morningside, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Morningside
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Morningside?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Morningside?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a tenement in Morningside, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
