How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Munlochy
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In a smaller place like Munlochy, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Munlochy
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Knockbain Munlochy Parish Church and Boundary Wall, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Munlochy
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a place like Munlochy, small leaks are easy to put off, but water through a failed joint keeps working away until it’s fixed.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why book with us
- We are fully insured
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We never seal over old sealant
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Outside jobs in Munlochy need a dry day, because sealant won’t bond to a wet joint, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Work indoors isn’t affected.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
