For buildings such as Uphall Church And Burial-ground, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Uphall station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Uphall may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

When to call us in Uphall
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Schools such as Broxburn Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and damp in stone or harled walls takes a long time to dry once water gets behind a joint.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Uphall questions
Do you cover smaller places like Uphall?
Yes, Uphall is covered. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Uphall?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
