About fire rated sealant in South Lanarkshire

Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and new service routes left unsealed after building work.

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy.

First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
We record the locations and products used for your records.

Fire rated sealant across South Lanarkshire: local notes

Across South Lanarkshire, from East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cambuslang outwards, offices, hotels, schools and shops all need sealant work from time to time, from washroom silicone to fire-rated sealant around service openings.

The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, but outside joints take plenty of weather everywhere, while generally soft water means less limescale indoors but no less mould. That shapes the choice of sealant for jobs across South Lanarkshire.

East Kilbride: Letting a property close to East Kilbride station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Duncanrig Secondary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

Which sealant suits the joint
Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The number and length of the joints
How easy the joints are to reach

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A few photos by email, if you can
Where the job is, and your postcode
How we’d reach the joints

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.

How to look after the new joints

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents

Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.

Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

Different surfaces, different methods

Linear gaps

A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.

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.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Common questions in South Lanarkshire

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.

Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?

No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.

What do you need from me for a quote?

A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

How long does the job take?

It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Should I try DIY first?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
