Fire rated sealant in Glenlochar, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a place like Glenlochar, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What we’re called out for in Glenlochar
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a building such as Castle Douglas High School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?

Other services in Glenlochar
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Glenlochar
Do you cover smaller places like Glenlochar?
Yes, Glenlochar is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Glenlochar for fire rated sealant?

What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Glenlochar and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is generally less of an issue than access and distance. 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.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Why act early in Glenlochar
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a place like Glenlochar, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
