How we handle fire rated sealant in Ullapool
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, guest houses and community buildings in or near Ullapool, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Ullapool: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Ullapool, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. We install fire-rated sealant to the product’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments.
For buildings such as Ullapool old parish church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

When to call us in Ullapool
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Schools such as Ullapool School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Outdoor work around Ullapool depends on the weather, as sealant needs a dry surface, so an outdoor job can move if the forecast changes. Indoor work goes ahead whatever the weather.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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 for your files.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
