About our fire stopping in Burrelton
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is hidden openings found during inspections and expanding foam used as fire stopping. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Burrelton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Burrelton often have services added during refurbishment. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions we’re asked in Burrelton
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Burrelton?
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 Burrelton off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Leave it or put it right?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Burrelton before they leak.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
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.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Compartment walls and floors in Burrelton
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Blairgowrie Community Hospital, 4.9 miles to the north of Burrelton, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.

Do you need fire stopping in Burrelton?
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it and has to be removed.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
Buildings near Burrelton get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Burrelton can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Burrelton with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
