Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, 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.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Fire stopping in Camelon
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. Site teams most often ask us about unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and old intumescent sealant that has split away, on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Camelon? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Camelon can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.

Penetration seals near Camelon
The area within 2 miles of Camelon holds a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Camelon. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Large healthcare estates like Falkirk Community Hospital (to the south-east of Camelon) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. In a building such as St John's Parish Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Forth Valley College - Falkirk Campus (2.1 miles east of Camelon) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- The site’s rules and procedures
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Camelon, such as Tamfourhill Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Camelon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Tamfourhill Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Camelon?
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Why deal with it now?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Camelon before they leak.
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Camelon, 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 confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Preparing the site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
