Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Botany
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Botany can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Fire rated sealant around Botany
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments. Botany has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a building such as Cleveden Secondary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Botany?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you let a flat or house near Summerston station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a city area like Botany, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. For flats, mention the door entry system and any shared-stair arrangements.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a Scottish city tenement, failed sealant affects more than one flat: water can reach the flat below, and gaps in shared walls or fire-stopping affect the whole stair.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Why us?

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
