Fire-rated sealant in Ellenabeich, Argyll and Bute
Fire-stopping gaps in Ellenabeich need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ellenabeich
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the quote in Ellenabeich

- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

- If someone has resealed it before

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Around Ellenabeich, distance and access matter more than parking. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Fire rated sealant in Ellenabeich: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Ellenabeich, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ellenabeich
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Ellenabeich, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
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.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Ellenabeich
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as Tin Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
