Fire stopping in Crombie
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, and they are easy to forget. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. Most enquiries involve openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Crombie is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Crombie can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What the job involves on each surface
Drylining partitions
Drylined fire walls are tested in a particular build-up. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers before sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Openings through concrete vary from tidy cores to rough break-outs. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

Questions about Crombie
Will you take on work at estates like Elgin Industrial Estate, close to Crombie?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Crombie, Elgin Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Crombie?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
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.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Is Crombie in your area?
Yes. Sites across Crombie are covered.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
How a job runs
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Crombie, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The site address and postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Compartments and services around Crombie
The area within 2 miles of Crombie holds a number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Hotels such as Keavil House Hotel (to the north-east of Crombie) rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified. For a unit at a site such as Elgin Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles east of Crombie, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. For a building such as Cairneyhill Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
