About our fire rated sealant in Roslin
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Work in a place like Roslin is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Roslin, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property

FAQs for Roslin
Will you come out to Roslin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eskbank station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Roslin?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.

What we’re called out for in Roslin
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Letting a property close to Eskbank station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Commercial buildings in Roslin
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
If you look after a building such as Lasswade High School Centre, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
