Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Comrie
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. We work on service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fire stopping installed outside its tested range and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Comrie from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Comrie 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Compartments and services around Comrie
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. Comrie has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. 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.
Hospital estates such as Crieff Community Hospital (to the east of Comrie) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. In a building such as Secession Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Hotels like St Kessac's Hotel, under half a mile to the north-west of Comrie, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

FAQs: Comrie
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Comrie?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Comrie?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Yes. Comrie is in our area. To discuss a job, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Surface by surface
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, though larger ones normally call for a collar or wrap. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.

On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Comrie, 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.
- 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.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
