How we handle fire rated sealant in Drumoak
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Drumoak, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Drumoak, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height

Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly 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. Outdoor work around Drumoak depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Commercial buildings in Drumoak
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Around Drumoak, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Community buildings like Drumoak Kirk are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Questions from Drumoak
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Drumoak?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Drumoak?
Yes, Drumoak is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
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 do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
