Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Exposed walls in smaller Scottish places take a lot of wind and rain, and once water gets behind a failed joint, damp in stone or harled walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Fire rated sealant in Westmuir
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you look after holiday lets, a guest house or a community building in or near Westmuir, the washrooms and kitchens need the same care as any city building, and fire-rated joints should be kept in good order.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Westmuir and across Angus.

Common questions in Westmuir
How do Scotland’s building regulations apply to fire-rated sealant in Westmuir?
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 carry out fire risk assessments, so your fire risk assessor or building control will advise on what’s needed.
Do you cover smaller places like Westmuir?
Yes, we do. Our work covers the whole of Scotland, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. For a place like Westmuir, longer drives are planned in advance. Mention tracks, gates, ferries or anything else about the route.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
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.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
