What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Lucklawhill depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

Fire rated sealant in Lucklawhill: local notes

Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lucklawhill
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Lucklawhill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Lucklawhill: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
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.
Is Lucklawhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
