Fire rated sealant in Plantation, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Plantation, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Plantation and across Glasgow.

Questions from Plantation
Do you take on hotel work around Plantation?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Plantation?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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 do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Plantation?
Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Plantation.

- Where the property is

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

The process

The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job.

- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
