How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, with no gaps along the run.
Fire stopping in Alyth
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Alyth is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a building near Alyth, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What affects the price in Alyth
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach, and the right detail can be checked at the time. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Alyth before they leak.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Service penetrations in Alyth buildings
A 2-mile radius around Alyth takes in a number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, and products should be tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Hotels like Lands of Loyal Hotel, 0.5 miles to the north of Alyth, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. In a building such as Parish Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

Alyth: questions and answers
Is Alyth too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Alyth is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Will fire-rated sealant work on every penetration?
No. Each fire-rated sealant is tested for particular services, gap sizes and substrates. Outside that, a different product is needed.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Alyth, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Ask for a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.

Signs you need fire stopping in Alyth
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access typically bring them to light.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
For a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital (5.1 miles south-west of Alyth), penetration sealing is usually phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
