The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Daviot, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Daviot, 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.

Daviot questions
Do you cover smaller places like Daviot?
Yes. Daviot is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What we are called out for in Daviot
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you let a flat or house near Inverurie station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
