How we handle fire rated sealant in Queensferry
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Queensferry, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What else we do in Queensferry
Landlord and commercial work in Queensferry
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Queensferry: your questions answered
I let a flat near Dalmeny station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Why act early in Queensferry
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Queensferry, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What affects the quote in Queensferry
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Queensferry
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
Managing a site like Queensferry High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
