Fire rated sealant in Kingseat, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Work in a place like Kingseat is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Kingseat?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Managing a site like Woodmill High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Kingseat depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors is not affected.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
