Fire rated sealant in Baile a' Mhanaich, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Baile a' Mhanaich 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a place like Baile a' Mhanaich, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
