Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Craighouse
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Craighouse, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Common questions in Craighouse
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Craighouse?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is Craighouse within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Craighouse, along with the rest of our area.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Craighouse
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Craighouse
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Around Craighouse, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Craighouse 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Workplaces and buildings in Craighouse
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Craighouse, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Craighouse Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
