Fire-rated sealant in Inbhir Aora, Argyll and Bute
Our applicators work in Inbhir Aora on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
About our fire rated sealant in Inbhir Aora
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you are dealing with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Inbhir Aora
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Inbhir Aora questions
Will you come out to Inbhir Aora?
Yes, we do. 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 work for hotels and guest houses in Inbhir Aora?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

When to call us in Inbhir Aora
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Malieu Hall, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
