What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Auchinraith, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us

About our fire rated sealant in Auchinraith
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Auchinraith, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Auchinraith questions
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Auchinraith?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Auchinraith?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Auchinraith?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Blantyre station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Auchinraith may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
