Fire rated sealant in Warriston, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Scotland has its own building regulations, with their own technical handbooks. For buildings in Warriston, fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom and kitchen sealant is chosen for heavy use.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Many homes in Scotland’s cities are tenement flats, reached through a shared close and up a common stair. For a job in Warriston, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
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. Scottish rain finds any gap around a frame or wall joint, and in a tall building in Warriston, damp can travel a long way before it shows.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
