Fire rated sealant in Monikie
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Work in a place like Monikie is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Monikie and across Dundee.

How the visit works

We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Outdoor work around Monikie 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Monikie
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For buildings such as Parish Church And Burial-Ground, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Monikie: your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Monikie?
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’s how we fit it. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Monikie?
Yes, Monikie is covered. We work across all of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why act early in Monikie
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a place like Monikie, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Take a look at our cost guide or customer reviews.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
