Fire rated sealant in Blairgowrie and Rattray, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. Common call-outs are for standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
In a Scottish town like Blairgowrie and Rattray, commercial work can mean offices, shops, schools, hotels or care homes, all with washroom, kitchen and fire-rated joints to look after.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

FAQs for Blairgowrie and Rattray
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Blairgowrie and Rattray?
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.
Do you work in hotels near Blairgowrie and Rattray?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Why act early in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. For landlords in Blairgowrie and Rattray, damp and leaks can fall under the Repairing Standard. Sorting failed joints early is easier than dealing with a tenant’s complaint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
