Fire rated sealant in Dundee: how it works
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

Fire rated sealant across Dundee: local notes
Our fire rated sealant work across Dundee covers washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints, from Broughty Ferry, Stobswell and Monifieth to the quieter places in between. Work can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
We work across all of Scotland, from the cities to the islands, and Dundee is part of that. Longer journeys are planned in advance, and outdoor work around the weather. Along the coast in Dundee, holiday lets and guest houses can have bathrooms in near-constant use, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most.
Dundee: Letting a property close to Dundee station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Scottish School of Contemporary Dance, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What we are called out for in Dundee
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
FAQs for Dundee
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Dundee?
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 you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
