Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Victoria Park
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you’re dealing with open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Victoria Park? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Older stone and tenement buildings in Scotland’s cities have usually been re-serviced many times. Wall type and service type decide the product, so both are checked before sealing, and design questions go to the designer or verifier.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
FAQs: Victoria Park
Can work at a site such as University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Stewartfield Industrial Estate, close to Victoria Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Victoria Park, Stewartfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Some clients require third-party installer schemes even though the law doesn’t, so check your contract first. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Victoria Park
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Compartments and services around Victoria Park
Victoria Park has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Seven care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Victoria Park. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Residences at universities like University of Edinburgh - Holyrood Campus, 1.8 miles south of Victoria Park, have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. Industrial units on estates such as Stewartfield Industrial Estate, under half a mile south-east of Victoria Park, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Colleges such as Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh, 1.4 miles to the south of Victoria Park, add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.

What else we do in Victoria Park
How the job changes by surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Why it’s worth doing now in Victoria Park
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Getting access arranged for a building in Victoria Park takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
