Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
How we handle fire stopping in Arnprior
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations, and what we are called in for most is old intumescent sealant that has split away and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Arnprior it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Arnprior, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions about Arnprior
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Arnprior?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Can you produce the fire-stopping design for a job in Arnprior?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Why act early in Arnprior

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Fire stopping in Arnprior: the local picture
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.
Buildings near Arnprior get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail. Around Arnprior, fire-stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; installation to the specification is our part.

From enquiry to sign-off

- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
