The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Corrie may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the quote in Corrie
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
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 we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Corrie
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For jobs in and around Corrie, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. 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.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

FAQs for Corrie
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Corrie?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Corrie?
Yes, Corrie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
