About our fire rated sealant in Biggar Road
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
In a smaller place like Biggar Road, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Biggar Road and across North Lanarkshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
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 generally a straightforward job.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Biggar Road: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you let a flat or house near Cleland station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Brannock High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Biggar Road
Do you cover smaller places like Biggar Road?
Yes. Biggar Road 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.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Biggar Road?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
