Fire rated sealant in Plockton, done properly

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, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help.

If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Plockton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Plockton

In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.

Look out for any of the following:

Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
New service routes left unsealed after building work
Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs

Community buildings like 1-6 Old Church Court are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

FAQs for Plockton

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer.

Do I have to be there?

Is it messy?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Workplaces and buildings in Plockton

For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Plockton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks.

We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we don’t certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Ask which product was used before you paint
Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep photos of seals that will be hidden

File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.

When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

How the job changes by surface

Service penetrations

A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.

Flats and HMOs

In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.

Leave it or put it right?

If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Plockton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.

We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
