Fire Rated Sealant in Kelvindale
Fire-stopping gaps in Kelvindale need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Kelvindale
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. In Kelvindale, as anywhere, fire-rated sealant goes in to the product’s tested details and washroom sealant is chosen to cope with heavy use.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Private landlords in Kelvindale must meet the Repairing Standard, and damp or leaks can fall short of it, so it’s worth fixing failed sealant before a tenant reports it.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
