Fire rated sealant around Muirhouse
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; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Shieldmuir station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Patrick's R.C. Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

FAQs for Muirhouse
Will you come out to Muirhouse?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Muirhouse
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When to call us in Muirhouse
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady's High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Around Muirhouse, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
- 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

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
