Fire rated sealant in West Tofts
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In a smaller place like West Tofts, commercial jobs are more likely to be a hotel, guest house, school, surgery or community hall than an office block. All of them have washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints that need looking after.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in West Tofts
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For jobs in and around West Tofts, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What product goes in the joint

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before

What else we do in West Tofts
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In smaller Scottish places, parking is usually less of an issue than access and distance. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
