Searching for sealant specialists in Breasclete? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Breasclete, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Surface by surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range, and any outside it are raised with you.
What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Questions about Breasclete
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Breasclete?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal 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.
Will you travel to Breasclete on the island?
Yes, Breasclete is within the area we cover. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Ferry times and the weather set the plan, so we ask for photographs and a full list first.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
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. The work itself typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Breasclete, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.

Fire-rated sealing for Breasclete buildings
Being on an island, Breasclete means planning around ferry times as well as the weather. With the specification and photographs of the openings, the right fire-rated products travel with us. 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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Wherever the building is near Breasclete, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified. Around Breasclete, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

Why deal with it now?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Breasclete, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
