FAQs: Colmonell
Can you produce the fire-stopping design for a job in Colmonell?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Is Colmonell too far out for you?
No. Places such as Colmonell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Colmonell
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail rather than guesswork. We work on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damaged fire seals in risers and voids and fire sealant pulled out of the opening.

Travel to smaller places like Colmonell is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Colmonell
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Colmonell
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
How a job runs
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Colmonell with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- 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 so the seal starts clean.
- 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
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. Around smaller places like Colmonell, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for

The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.

Fire stopping around Colmonell: points for this area
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For buildings in and around Colmonell, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail. For any site around Colmonell, we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer.

Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products.
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
