Signs you need fire rated sealant in Viewpark
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as Old Monkland Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Viewpark
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
For a place like Viewpark, the journey and timings are planned in advance, so it can be fitted around bookings or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Viewpark
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details; we do not certify buildings or carry out fire risk assessments. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Viewpark. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Letting a property close to Uddingston station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Cardinal Newman High School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a place like Viewpark, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
