About our fire stopping in Burnside of Duntrune
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Burnside of Duntrune and nearby. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are old intumescent sealant that has split away and damaged fire seals in risers and voids.

Compartments and services around Burnside of Duntrune
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, and products should be tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Baldovie Industrial Estate (1.3 miles south of Burnside of Duntrune) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. In a retail centre such as Happyhillock Shopping Centre, 1.5 miles to the south-west of Burnside of Duntrune, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.

Signs you need fire stopping in Burnside of Duntrune
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls and later need putting right.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Openings left by services added after handover
At a university such as Abertay University (3.6 miles south-west of Burnside of Duntrune), labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work.

Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Our area runs from Greater London and the South East to every part of Scotland. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, using products tested for their end use.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
What we can’t put right

- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.

After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Record which product was used where
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.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate.
