Our fire rated sealant service in Stirling
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How we quote
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Near you in Stirling
Around Stirling, our work takes us to homes and buildings near Royal Gardens, Terraces Hotel and Allan Park South Church. Stirling has its own railway station: Stirling station. A little further out are Stirling Health and Care Centre (0.6 miles south) and Thistles Centre (less than half a mile east). The countryside around Stirling includes Mote Hill and Airthrey Loch.
Where we work in Stirling
Our fire rated sealant work across Stirling covers washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints, from Dunblane, St. Ninians and Raploch to the quieter places in between. Room-by-room programmes and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Homes in Scotland come with their own details: harled walls, sash and case windows and, in the larger towns and cities, tenements. Stirling is part of the area we cover across Scotland. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Stirling can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Stirling: Community buildings like Allan Park South Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Stirling station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Signs you need fire rated sealant
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
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 tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why act early?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
Common questions in Stirling
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
