What affects the quote in Leachkin
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Fire rated sealant in Leachkin, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Commercial work around smaller Scottish places tends to mean hotels, guest houses, schools and halls rather than offices. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What else we do in Leachkin
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Fire rated sealant around Leachkin
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Leachkin, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
Managing a site like Inverness High School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Inverness station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Leachkin is about 2 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. Whether you are in the middle of Leachkin or further out, we cover fire rated sealant for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. 253 places in Highland are on our list.
We work across the IV3 postcode area for fire rated sealant and the streets around it. We also cover Merkinch (1 mile north-east), Ballifeary (1 mile east), Inverness (2 miles east), Lochardil (2 miles south-east) and Longman (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Cradlehall (5 miles east), Dingwall (11 miles north-west), Hilton (3 miles east), Alness (15 miles north), Muir of Ord (8 miles north-west) and Fortrose (9 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leachkin
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
