About our fire rated sealant in Kennishead
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions.
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. For buildings in Kennishead, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Kennishead
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. For landlords in Kennishead, damp and leaks can be a Repairing Standard issue, so failed sealant is best replaced before it becomes a complaint.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
When to call us in Kennishead
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Rented homes near Kennishead station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Do you work for landlords with property near Kennishead station?

What do you need from me for a quote?

Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlord and commercial work in Kennishead
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
