How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
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.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Restalrig
Can you help a landlord with a rental 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 work begins.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Restalrig?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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 seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Why act early in Restalrig
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Workplaces and buildings in Restalrig
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Restalrig, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Restalrig has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as Leith Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Restalrig Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
