Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Gullane
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you are dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Gullane, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outside jobs in Gullane 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Commercial buildings in Gullane
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Gullane, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter’s Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Asking for a quote

- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Gullane
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For landlords with property near Drem station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Gullane
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Gullane?
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 cover smaller places like Gullane?
Yes, Gullane is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
