About our fire rated sealant in Arbroath
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and linear gaps at the head of walls, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
If you run a hotel, guest house or care home in Arbroath, room-by-room resealing can be planned around guests or residents, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arbroath as everywhere else we work.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Arbroath is rarely difficult, though older streets in the centre can be tight. If you are in a flat with a shared stair or a door entry system, let us know when you book.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.

Common questions in Arbroath
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Arbroath?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work in hotels near Arbroath?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Arbroath?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Arbroath, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When to call us in Arbroath
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like Arbroath High School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
