Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Craigellachie
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations, and the failures we are asked to look at most are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Craigellachie 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 Craigellachie 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations

Why it’s worth doing now in Craigellachie
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Where we can, we combine work around Craigellachie with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. 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.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- 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

Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance along with any permits your site needs.
Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Questions about Craigellachie
Is a hospital such as Fleming Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Craigellachie?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
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.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Quoting for work in Craigellachie
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Fire-rated sealing for Craigellachie buildings
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. Craigellachie 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.
Hotels like Craigellachie Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Craigellachie, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Fleming Hospital, 2 miles south-west of Craigellachie, all have compartment walls crossed by services. Older community buildings such as Church Of Macallan And Burial Ground With Elchies Mausoleum that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
