Fire rated sealant in Roseburn
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, whatever the surface.
In Scotland’s cities, hotels and student accommodation need sealant work done without emptying the building, so jobs in Roseburn can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Questions from Roseburn
Do you work for landlords with property near Haymarket station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Roseburn?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a tenement in Roseburn, work inside your flat is between us and you, while shared parts may need the factor or neighbours to agree. Tell us which applies when you book.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we’re called out for in Roseburn
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Murrayfield Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a tenement flat in Roseburn, a failed seal is rarely just your problem: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant around Roseburn
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Roseburn, 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. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Rented homes near Haymarket station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as St George's School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
