About our fire rated sealant in Seafield
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Seafield. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. In Seafield, that can mean resealing washrooms room by room or fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables in common areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Seafield?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Restalrig Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Seafield, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Workplaces and buildings in Seafield
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Seafield, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Letting a property close to Edinburgh Waverley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Leith Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Seafield
Do you take on hotel work around Seafield?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Seafield and the rest of Edinburgh.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you come to Seafield?
Yes. We cover Seafield and the rest of Edinburgh. To book, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Seafield
Letting agents and landlords in Seafield can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What else we do in Seafield
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
