Fire stopping in Clachan of Campsie
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. If you are dealing with fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and penetration schedules that need working through, we can help, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Clachan of Campsie tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Clachan of Campsie 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Clachan of Campsie. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification

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. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Clachan of Campsie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Compartments and services around Clachan of Campsie
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, using products tested for the way they’re used. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail. There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Clachan of Campsie. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.
In a building such as St Machan's Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.

When to call us in Clachan of Campsie
A common fault is a product that was never fire-rated in the first place: 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, so it has to come out.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
For a hospital such as Broomhill Hospital, 4.1 miles to the south-east of Clachan of Campsie, penetration sealing is usually phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first.
Before you book anyone

- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
How the job changes by surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Cost factors for service penetrations
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Any access equipment needed
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The site address and postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
