Fire rated sealant in Kennoway
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Kennoway, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

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 matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kennoway
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Kennoway, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Fire rated sealant around Kennoway
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Kennoway, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Kennoway Old Parish Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Kirkland High School and Community College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Cameron Bridge station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Kennoway?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own 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.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
