What we’re called out for in Lossiemouth
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as Lossiemouth High School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant in Lossiemouth
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Lossiemouth, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. Outside jobs in Lossiemouth 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. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
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.
FAQs for Lossiemouth
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Lossiemouth?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that’s 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Lossiemouth?
Yes. Lossiemouth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Lossiemouth?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In an older home around Lossiemouth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
