Fire rated sealant in Hill of Fearn, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Hill of Fearn, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hill of Fearn

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Around Hill of Fearn, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
