- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Fire rated sealant in Curriehill
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Curriehill. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Curriehill, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Questions from Curriehill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Curriehill station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Curriehill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
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 following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Fire rated sealant around Curriehill
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Currie High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Curriehill station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Currie Kirk, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Around Curriehill, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

Advice
Why act early in Curriehill
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. Around Curriehill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
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 sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will tell you honestly.
