About our fire stopping in Crieff
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are penetration schedules that need working through and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crieff first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Crieff is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any specification or named product
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a building near Crieff, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Questions we are asked in Crieff
Do you work in occupied care homes around Crieff?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Crioch Business Centre, near Crieff?
Yes. Our area takes in Crieff and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Crioch Business Centre included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. EI 60 means integrity and insulation for 60 minutes in the tested arrangement.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Is Crieff in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Crieff, with one number for every area we cover.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Penetration seals near Crieff
The area within 2 miles of Crieff holds a number of hotels. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Tenant changes at parks like Crioch Business Centre, less than half a mile south-west of Crieff, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. Large healthcare estates like Crieff Community Hospital (under half a mile south-west of Crieff) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Crieff is about 15 miles west of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Any commercial site in Crieff is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. We work across 114 places in Perth and Kinross. Dundee is covered too, some 34 miles away.

Signs you need fire stopping in Crieff
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
For a hotel such as Tower Hotel, under half a mile to the east of Crieff, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Crieff can form part of a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- 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
Leave it or put it right?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. 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.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
