Advice
How we handle fire rated sealant in Inverarish
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Inverarish, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Common questions in Inverarish
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Inverarish?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.

Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
