How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Around Muirhouses, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
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.
Muirhouses: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Muirhouses?
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’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Muirhouses within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Commercial buildings in Muirhouses
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Muirhouses, 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Linlithgow station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Bo'ness Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Muirhouses
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as church and burial ground 20m SW of Carriden House, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Also in Muirhouses
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Muirhouses and across Falkirk. We can quote a run of properties together.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
