Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bolton
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. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a place like Bolton, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Bolton: your questions answered
Will you come out to Bolton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Bolton?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Bolton
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Bolton Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Places near Bolton
Also in Bolton
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Bolton
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Bolton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
