About our fire rated sealant in Kirkton of Durris
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Kirkton of Durris, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Kirkton of Durris and across Aberdeenshire.

When to call us in Kirkton of Durris
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Comgall's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Why it’s worth doing now in Kirkton of Durris
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put 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 saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
