Fire stopping for Cliasmol sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
How we handle fire stopping in Cliasmol
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the failures we are asked to look at most are seals that don’t match their tested detail and fire sealant pulled out of the opening. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Cliasmol, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Cliasmol, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
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 we work within it.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest so we know it sits within the tested range.
How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Jobs near Cliasmol are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Compartment walls and floors in Cliasmol
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. For an island location such as Cliasmol, work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather. We need the specification and a count of penetrations before we sail.
For buildings in and around Cliasmol, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Wherever the building is near Cliasmol, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.
Cliasmol is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Anywhere in HS3, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Na h-Eileanan Siar coverage takes in 87 places.
Business premises anywhere in HS3 are within our area for service penetrations. Sites close to Cliasmol are covered too, including Tarbert (7 miles south-east), Direcleit (7 miles south-east), Miabhaig (8 miles south-east), Drinisiadar (10 miles south-east) and Greosabhagh (10 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
FAQs: Cliasmol
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Cliasmol?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Cliasmol?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
