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. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In an older home around Gartly, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Gartly questions
Is Gartly 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 Gartly?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Fire rated sealant around Gartly

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Gartly need a dry day, because sealant will not bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
What we are called out for in Gartly
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 they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Around Gartly, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
