How the visit works

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.

Fire rated sealant in Inverallochy
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Inverallochy
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For buildings such as Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

Also in Inverallochy
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Inverallochy
Will you come out to Inverallochy?
Yes, Inverallochy is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
