Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Fire rated sealant in Baile Mòr
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Baile Mòr, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we’re called out for in Baile Mòr
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Iona Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Advice
Baile Mòr questions
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Baile Mòr within the area you cover?
Yes. Baile Mòr is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
