About our fire rated sealant in Kilconquhar
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, and we can record what went where. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Kilconquhar, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Questions from Kilconquhar
Do you take on hotel work around Kilconquhar?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kilconquhar
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as Old Parish Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
