If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Broomhill, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Broomhill?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you let a flat or house near Hyndland station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
Questions from Broomhill
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Broomhill?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is 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 for hotels and guest houses in Broomhill?
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.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
