Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Kelvinside
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you are dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right.
Hotels, serviced apartments and student accommodation in Scotland’s cities need their bathrooms kept in order between guests, so jobs in Kelvinside can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Inside a flat in Kelvinside, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kelvinside
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For landlords with property near Hyndland station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Kelvinside and across Glasgow. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Fire rated sealant in Kelvinside: local notes
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kelvinside. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Community buildings like St John's Renfield Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Cleveden Secondary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
