About our fire rated sealant in Warriston
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations.
For a place like Warriston, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Warriston
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like St Mary's Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Curriehill station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Common problems we fix in Warriston
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Currie High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book

- Is VAT in the price?
- What guarantee comes with the work
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens if it’s left?
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. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Warriston?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks.

We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
