Fire stopping for businesses in Aviemore
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Aviemore, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Make sure the joints can be reached

How we handle fire stopping in Aviemore
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 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. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you have open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can help, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations alike. Whoever orders the work in Aviemore, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Aviemore can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
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.

Other services in Aviemore
Surface by surface
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens if it’s left?
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. For buildings near Aviemore, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.

Fire-rated sealing for Aviemore buildings
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Aviemore. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
In a hotel such as MacDonald Aviemore Hotel, 0.8 miles to the south of Aviemore, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Offices at parks like Cairngorm Technology Park (under half a mile east of Aviemore) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. On a hospital site such as Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital (under half a mile south-east of Aviemore), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
