Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Corrie
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. The enquiries we see most involve seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on service gaps in risers, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and pipe penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Corrie is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Corrie is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Your questions answered
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Corrie?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is a smaller place like Corrie outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.

Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we will tell you what the detail says instead.
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. For buildings near Corrie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Fire stopping around Corrie: points for this area
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, and products should be tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. The area within 2 miles of Corrie holds a number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Buildings near Corrie get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail. For a hotel such as Corrie Hotel, 0.6 miles north of Corrie, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
Corrie is about 14 miles west of Saltcoats, in North Ayrshire. Anywhere in KA27, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Corrie is one of 54 places in North Ayrshire on our list. Glasgow is covered too, around 37 miles from Corrie.

We work on buildings around Corrie Hotel. Nearby you will also find Brodick Castle (2.8 miles south) and Isle of Arran Heritage Museum (3.6 miles south).
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Corrie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
