Fire rated sealant in Aiginis
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Aiginis, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Aiginis: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Aiginis, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For jobs in and around Aiginis, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
When to call us in Aiginis
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Around Aiginis, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Aiginis may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
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.
