About our fire rated sealant in Coldingham
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, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Coldingham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Coldingham?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Reston station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

FAQs for Coldingham
Is Coldingham within the area you cover?
Yes. Coldingham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Coldingham?
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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
