Why it’s worth doing now in Sanndabhaig
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 that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Sanndabhaig, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Fire rated sealant in Sanndabhaig
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Sanndabhaig is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around guests, residents or opening hours where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

Sanndabhaig questions
Is Sanndabhaig within the area you cover?
Yes. Sanndabhaig is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across all of Scotland, including the islands, where work is planned around ferry crossings. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Sanndabhaig?
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 don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
