About our fire stopping in Anniesland Cross
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. If you’re dealing with unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can help, on service gaps in risers, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and linear gaps at wall heads alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Anniesland Cross from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook says a service penetration ought to match, as a minimum, how long the wall or floor resists fire. In Anniesland Cross, penetrations get the fire-rated sealant the specification asks for, built to its tested arrangement.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.

Your questions answered
Can you work on a hospital site such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can work in a care setting near Anniesland Cross go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
What the job involves on each surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products.
Why deal with it now?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. City jobs in Anniesland Cross normally need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Anniesland Cross
A common fault is a product that was never fire-rated in the first place: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it and has to be removed.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Openings left by services added after handover
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Glasgow Clyde College - Anniesland Campus, less than half a mile to the south-east of Anniesland Cross, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.

There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Anniesland Cross. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are usually fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
In a retail centre such as Knightswood Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles west of Anniesland Cross, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
