Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Blairgowrie and Rattray
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. 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. Site teams most often ask us about fire stopping installed outside its tested range and penetration schedules that need working through, on service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Most enquiries from Blairgowrie and Rattray start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
After refits and M&E works in buildings around Blairgowrie and Rattray, gaps around new services are a common finding. If fire-rated sealant is the named product, it is installed as tested; if the detail needs a different item, we’ll point that out.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Where services cross fire walls in Blairgowrie and Rattray
A 2-mile radius around Blairgowrie and Rattray takes in several hotels. 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, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
For a hotel such as Angus Hotel (under half a mile north of Blairgowrie and Rattray), penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. At a healthcare site like Blairgowrie Community Hospital, less than half a mile to the south-west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. Buildings in towns like Blairgowrie and Rattray often have joints of similar age across a whole building or estate. Doing them together saves return visits.
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.

Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness first.
Common questions from Blairgowrie and Rattray clients
Will you work in a care home in Blairgowrie and Rattray without moving residents out?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. We don’t certify or sign off fire stopping, and we hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you work in Scotland as well as England?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks, while England relies on Approved Document B. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.

What we’re called out for in Blairgowrie and Rattray
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Openings left by services added after handover
Industrial units on estates such as Welton Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Blairgowrie and Rattray) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
Before you book anyone
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a unit on an estate in Blairgowrie and Rattray, tell us about yard access and site rules. Town-centre premises may need parking planned.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
