How we handle fire rated sealant in Craigton
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames.
Work in a place like Craigton is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Common problems we fix in Craigton
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Rented homes near Barry Links station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Craigton may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Craigton?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
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 it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we’ll agree it with you first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant

- Whether the work is at height
