How we handle fire rated sealant in Arnprior
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help.
Work in a place like Arnprior is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Arnprior
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
In and around Arnprior, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
What else we do in Arnprior
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Arnprior questions

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
