How we handle fire rated sealant in Gorthleck
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a place like Gorthleck, 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.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Gorthleck?
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Around Gorthleck, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
- How long to leave it before use
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Gorthleck, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Gorthleck, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Gorthleck questions
Will you come out to Gorthleck?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Gorthleck?
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 do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Gorthleck, along with the rest of our area.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used for your files.
