What we are called out for in Lochcarron
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Attadale station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lochcarron
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For a place like Lochcarron, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lochcarron and across Highland.

Why act early in Lochcarron
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Lochcarron, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lochcarron
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lochcarron, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details, though we do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Lochcarron Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Lochcarron School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lochcarron
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Will you come out to Lochcarron?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not 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 you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.

- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
