How we handle fire rated sealant in Lochwinnoch
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help, whatever the surface.
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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Lochwinnoch, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Fully insured
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.

Common questions in Lochwinnoch
Do you cover smaller places like Lochwinnoch?
Yes, Lochwinnoch is covered. We work across all of Scotland, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Lochwinnoch?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
