How we handle fire rated sealant in Greenrigg
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Greenrigg. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Greenrigg, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Do you need fire rated sealant in Greenrigg?
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:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Letting a property close to Blackridge station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Greenrigg
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Greenrigg?
Yes, Greenrigg is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Why it’s worth doing now in Greenrigg
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a place like Greenrigg, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run leaving no stretch unsealed.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
