About our fire rated sealant in Little Brechin
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, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on linear gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a place like Little Brechin is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Little Brechin?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Around Little Brechin, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Little Brechin

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outside jobs in Little Brechin need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
