Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
About our fire rated sealant in Holywood
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Holywood
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Common questions in Holywood
Is Holywood within the area you cover?
Yes, Holywood is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on hotel work around Holywood?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
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. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant around Holywood
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Holywood. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Holywood Parish Church And Churchyard are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maxwelltown High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Dumfries station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
