About our fire rated sealant in Dalmally
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Common call-outs are for holes left by a change of layout and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Dalmally, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Dalmally and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Dalmally?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Glenorchy Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether you can choose the colour
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why act early in Dalmally
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Dalmally, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Dalmally
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Is Dalmally within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
