How we handle fire rated sealant in Eastriggs
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a place like Eastriggs, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Eastriggs
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Community buildings like St John's Episcopal Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eastriggs
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Eastriggs, 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
