Fire rated sealant in An Tairbeart
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near An Tairbeart, 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.

Workplaces and buildings in An Tairbeart

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, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

What affects the quote in An Tairbeart
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like An Tairbeart may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlords, agents and businesses in An Tairbeart
Landlords and letting agents in An Tairbeart can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
When to call us in An Tairbeart
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Rented homes near Arrochar & Tarbet station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
