Why it’s worth doing now in Irvine
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In flats with a shared stair in Irvine, a leak from a failed seal can affect the flat below too, and that’s much harder to put right.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Irvine
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Commercial jobs in a town like Irvine range from shops and offices to schools, hotels and care homes, all with washroom, kitchen and fire-rated joints to look after.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Irvine and across North Ayrshire.

What else we do in Irvine
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Questions from Irvine
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Irvine?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Irvine?
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.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Irvine
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a building such as Greenwood Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a Scottish town like Irvine, parking is usually straightforward, though older centres can be tighter. For flats, mention the shared stair or door entry system.
- 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
