How we handle fire stopping in Boreland
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. Site teams most often ask us about fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Boreland from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Boreland 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Leave it or put it right?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Boreland. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Questions we are asked in Boreland
Is a smaller place like Boreland outside your area?
Not at all. Boreland is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Boreland?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Compartment walls and floors in Boreland
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. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Around Boreland, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product. Wherever the building is near Boreland, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.

What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Boreland
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Record which product was used where
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
Quoting for work in Boreland
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- The size and state of each joint
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Boreland, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
