Common questions from Bridge of Earn clients
Is Bridge of Earn too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Bridge of Earn?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What hours do you work?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Bridge of Earn
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. Site teams most often ask us about seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, across pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Bridge of Earn from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Bridge of Earn, 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Bridge of Earn, 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 and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
Where services cross fire walls in Bridge of Earn
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
On a hospital site such as Bridge of Earn Hospital, which lies east of Bridge of Earn, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. For a building such as Dunbarney Parish Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
