How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. In smaller Scottish places, parking is normally less of an issue than access and distance. Let us know how to find you and how to reach the joints, and the visit is planned around that.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Lochore
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
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 stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Lochore, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Commercial buildings in Lochore
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
Community buildings like Ballingry Parish Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lochgelly High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

When to call us in Lochore
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For landlords with property near Lochgelly station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
