Fire rated sealant in Greenfaulds
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Greenfaulds may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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 and the faces 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What we’re called out for in Greenfaulds
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you let a flat or house near Greenfaulds station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Commercial buildings in Greenfaulds
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as St Mungo's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Greenfaulds High School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Greenfaulds: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Greenfaulds?
Yes, Greenfaulds 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.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Greenfaulds?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
