Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
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. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Murthly
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like United Presbyterian Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Questions from Murthly
Do you cover smaller places like Murthly?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Murthly?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
