Fire stopping around Creag Ghoraidh: 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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. Island jobs, Creag Ghoraidh among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. With the specification and photographs of the openings, the right fire-rated products travel with us.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Uist and Barra Hospital (4.7 miles north-west of Creag Ghoraidh) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.

We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. If you have improvised or mixed-product fire seals and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab, we can help, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Creag Ghoraidh, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Creag Ghoraidh, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.

Why act early in Creag Ghoraidh
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. For buildings near Creag Ghoraidh, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

When to call us in Creag Ghoraidh
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access normally bring them to light.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
For a hotel such as The Isle of Benbecula House Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Creag Ghoraidh), penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Uist and Barra Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you travel to Creag Ghoraidh on the island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Creag Ghoraidh. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
What does an EI 60 rating mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2 as E for integrity and I for insulation, with a time such as EI 60 or EI 120. The rating applies to the product as tested.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Some clients require third-party installer schemes even though the law doesn’t. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Jobs near Creag Ghoraidh are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we’ll never swap a specified collar for sealant.
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Phasing around occupants
- How accessible the joints are
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
