Fire Rated Sealant in Newton Village
We cover Newton Village 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.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Fire rated sealant in Newton Village, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Newton Village
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Newton Village, 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. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Dalkeith High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Newton Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Shawfair station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Newton Village is about 2 miles north-west of Dalkeith, in Midlothian. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Newton Village is covered for fire rated sealant, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. Across Midlothian, we cover 33 places, and Newton Village is one of them.
All of EH22 is within our area for fire rated sealant. Streets in the area include Desmoulins Drive, Baronet Park and Millerhill Road. Nearby, we also carry out fire rated sealant in Millerhill (1 mile east), Shawfair (1 mile north), Old Craighall (1 mile north-east), Newcraighall (1 mile north) and Whitecraig (2 miles east).

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
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’ll tell you.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Newton Village, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newton Village
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Newton Village: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawfair station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Newton Village?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Newton Village?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Newton Village

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
