How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Outside jobs in Newtongrange need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

When to call us in Newtongrange
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Newtongrange station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Newtongrange
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Fire rated sealant around Newtongrange
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.
Schools such as Newbattle Community High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Newtongrange Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. 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, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
