When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Workplaces and buildings in Erbusaig
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Erbusaig, 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. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Lochalsh School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Erbusaig
Do you cover smaller places like Erbusaig?
Yes, Erbusaig is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
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 is how we fit it. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Landlord and commercial work in Erbusaig
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Outside jobs in Erbusaig need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Erbusaig
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Letting a property close to Duirinish station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
