Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Banchory-Devenick, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Fire rated sealant in Banchory-Devenick, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
For a place like Banchory-Devenick, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Banchory-Devenick
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Banchory-Devenick?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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.
Do you take on hotel work around Banchory-Devenick?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.

Common problems we fix in Banchory-Devenick
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as St Devenick's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
