About our fire rated sealant in Cornhill
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and open gaps behind door architraves, on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For a place like Cornhill, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Why act early in Cornhill
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Cornhill
Do you cover Cornhill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and Cornhill is part of that. Just send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Cornhill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cornhill?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
When to call us in Cornhill
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Ordiquhill And Cornhill Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What affects the quote in Cornhill
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Outdoor work around Cornhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
