Fire stopping in Bundalloch
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. The enquiries we see most involve snag lists that include open service penetrations and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations. For commercial sealant work in Bundalloch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Bundalloch, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether the work must be split into stages
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.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The type of building and who uses it
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Compartment walls and floors in Bundalloch
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 products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Older community buildings such as St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. On estates like Ardelve Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south-west of Bundalloch, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.

Questions we are asked in Bundalloch
Is Bundalloch too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does your area include sites such as Ardelve Industrial Estate, near Bundalloch?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bundalloch, Ardelve Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks, and England uses Approved Document B. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
Do you need fire stopping in Bundalloch?
When a seal departs from its tested detail, the evidence no longer covers it. An oversized gap, too shallow a bead, missing backing or two makers’ products combined are what we find most often.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
Hotels like Dornie Hotel, 1.1 miles to the south-west of Bundalloch, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Building owners, agents and FMs in Bundalloch
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Add risers, plant rooms and ceiling voids to routine fire-stopping checks. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown, and report them promptly.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate.
