How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hunter's Town
Will you come out to Hunter's Town?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Hunter's Town?
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Common problems we fix in Hunter's Town
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Managing a site like Carnoustie High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Hunter's Town, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
