Fire rated sealant in Glasgow: how it works

Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

What you will pay

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Where we work in Glasgow

Hotels, landlords, schools and businesses across Glasgow all have sealant to keep in order. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.

Scotland has its own building regulations, and homes here bring their own details: sash and case windows, harled walls and, in the towns and cities, tenement flats. Glasgow is part of the area we cover across Scotland.

Glasgow: Letting a property close to Anderston station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:

Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution

Can I do it myself?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods

Masonry and concrete

Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.

Service penetrations

A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.

Why deal with it now?

Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked.

Questions to ask before booking

Who turns up on the day
Which colour the sealant will be
Whether they’re fully insured
Whether they seal over old material or remove it

What affects the quote in Glasgow

You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:

How many areas need sealing
Any mould that needs treating
The product the joint needs
How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

If someone has resealed it before
How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Where the property is
The problem you’ve noticed

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

Glasgow: your questions answered

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?

Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?

No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

What sealant do you use?

We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?

Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
