Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.

FAQs for West End
Do you work for landlords with property near Aberdeen station?

Do Scottish building rules affect fire-rated sealant work in West End?
Scotland has its own building regulations, the Building (Scotland) Regulations, with their own technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant has to go in to the product’s tested details, and we follow them. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs

Common problems we fix in West End
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Mannofield Parish Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
