What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outdoor work around Blairmore depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant in Blairmore: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Blairmore, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Strone Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Common problems we fix in Blairmore
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you let a flat or house near Gourock station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common questions in Blairmore
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Blairmore?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Blairmore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

What else we do in Blairmore
Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
