Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kaimhill
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Kaimhill, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

Kaimhill: your questions answered
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kaimhill?
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 do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work in hotels near Kaimhill?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
