Fire rated sealant in Eòlaigearraidh
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a smaller place like Eòlaigearraidh, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Whether the job is in Eòlaigearraidh itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Eòlaigearraidh questions
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 Eòlaigearraidh within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, islands included, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Which products 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.
How the visit works
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 a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Eòlaigearraidh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- 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 for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Eòlaigearraidh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
