Fire stopping around Carlogie: what changes locally
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, and products should be tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. A 2-mile radius around Carlogie takes in several hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
For a hotel such as Aboukir Hotel, 1 mile south-east of Carlogie, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Large healthcare estates like Ashludie Hospital, 4.3 miles south-west of Carlogie, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

About our fire stopping in Carlogie
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail. We work on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the failures we are asked to look at most are hidden openings found during inspections and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. Most enquiries from Carlogie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Carlogie 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common problems we fix in Carlogie
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
In a school such as Carnoustie High School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, 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: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate.

What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
What we need from you

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, with no gaps along the run.
Carlogie: questions and answers
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Carlogie?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Would you work within a site like Ashludie Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
