Fire rated sealant in Yoker, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
Scotland’s cities have offices, hotels, student flats, care homes and tenement blocks looked after by factors. For a building in Yoker, the job might be washroom resealing or fire-rated sealant around service openings.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a Scottish city, a lot of jobs are in tenement flats, up a common stair from a shared close. For a job in Yoker, tell us the floor, how the door entry system works and where we can park nearby.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Yoker?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Yoker station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include

- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
