Fire rated sealant in Craigiebuckler
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help, whatever the surface.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Craigiebuckler, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a city area like Craigiebuckler, parking may be by permit or pay-and-display, so tell us what’s nearby. If you’re in a flat, let us know how we get in at the street door.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

When to call us in Craigiebuckler
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Schools such as Airyhall Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
