Common questions in Piershill
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Piershill?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work for landlords with property near Edinburgh Waverley station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Piershill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. For a tenement in Piershill, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Piershill, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
- We are fully insured
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
Commercial buildings in Piershill
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Piershill, 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. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Willowbrae Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Edinburgh Waverley station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Portobello High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you are not sure, just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
