We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and holes left by a change of layout.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Old Struan
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. 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 in most cases. For a place like Old Struan, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.

Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.

When to call us in Old Struan
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Rented homes near Blair Atholl station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Old Struan
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Old Struan, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
