Fire rated sealant in Corrie Common
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. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a smaller place like Corrie Common, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Corrie Common may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Landlord and commercial work in Corrie Common
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.

Letting a property close to Lockerbie station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Corrie Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Corrie Common
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a place like Corrie Common, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
