About our fire rated sealant in Strathblane
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a place like Strathblane is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Strathblane
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Parish Church and Churchyard, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Outdoor work around Strathblane depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so external jobs may need to move if the day turns wet. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why it’s worth doing now in Strathblane

Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in Strathblane?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their 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.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
