What we’re called out for in Edzell
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Around Edzell, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Fire rated sealant in Edzell, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Outdoor work around Edzell depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Work indoors is not affected.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Why act early in Edzell
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Edzell, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Edzell
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Edzell: your questions answered
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. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s how we fit it. 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.
Is Edzell within the area you cover?
Yes. Edzell is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
