About our fire rated sealant in Peebles
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right.
For a place like Peebles, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Peebles depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

Advice
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Peebles: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Peebles?
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 you cover smaller places like Peebles?
Yes, Peebles is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Why act early in Peebles
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
Do you need fire rated sealant in Peebles?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Peebles Old Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
