How we handle fire stopping in Corsehill
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you have fire sealant pulled out of the opening and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Corsehill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Corsehill is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photos of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Common problems we fix in Corsehill
Openings in fire-resisting walls typically appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Campus buildings at universities such as University of Aberdeen, 4.6 miles south-east of Corsehill, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

Questions about Corsehill
Can you work at a site such as Bridgehaugh Industrial Estate, by Corsehill?
Yes. We cover Corsehill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bridgehaugh Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Corsehill?
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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. For a building near Corsehill, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- 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.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Why deal with it now?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, so it makes sense to get it right first time. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Corsehill, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Compartments and services around Corsehill
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Corsehill. 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. 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, and products should be tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
On estates like Bridgehaugh Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles west of Corsehill, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Holiday works at schools like Dyce Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
