Fire rated sealant in Hillend, done properly
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, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and open gaps behind door architraves, on door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Hillend, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.

Landlord and commercial work in Hillend
Letting agents and landlords in Hillend can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. 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.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

See our cost guide or what customers say.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. Outdoor work around Hillend depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
