Fire rated sealant in Dyke
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a place like Dyke, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a place like Dyke, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Dyke: your questions answered
Is Dyke within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Dyke?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
