Fire stopping in Arradoul, done properly
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are snag lists that include open service penetrations and service penetrations left open after M&E works. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Arradoul, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a building near Arradoul, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why act early in Arradoul
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, so it makes sense to get it right first time. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Arradoul, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Record which product was used where
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job; found late, it can be one of many.
Questions about Arradoul
Can you work on a hospital site such as Seafield Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Arradoul?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you work in Arradoul?
Yes. We take on work across Arradoul.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Fire stopping in Arradoul: the local picture
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Moray College UHI - Buckie Learning Centre, 1.9 miles north-east of Arradoul, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. Holiday works at schools like Buckie High School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. Hotels like The Brig and Barrel Hotel (to the north of Arradoul) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Your programme or deadline
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Arradoul. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
