Fire rated sealant in Auchnagatt
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Auchnagatt. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include damaged fire sealant left by other trades and linear gaps at the head of walls, on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
In a smaller place like Auchnagatt, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Outside jobs in Auchnagatt need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In an older home around Auchnagatt, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
