Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Kingennie
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. Each needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints kept in good order.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kingennie
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 don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Schools such as Monifieth High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Out of town in Scotland, exposed walls take a lot of weather, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What we are called out for in Kingennie
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you let a flat or house near Monifieth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
