About our fire rated sealant in Gourdon
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Gourdon, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Gourdon?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Around Gourdon, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
Workplaces and buildings in Gourdon
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Gourdon, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Old Parish Church And Churchyard are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Not sure which it is? You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in Gourdon
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a place like Gourdon, small leaks are easy to put off, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
