Fire stopping in Croy
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Fire stopping in Croy
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with improvised or mixed-product fire seals and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can help, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows alike. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Croy tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Travel to smaller places like Croy 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.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as Cantraybridge College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Croy?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, 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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job compared with dozens found at once.
Commercial clients in Croy
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Croy can form part of a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Where we can, we combine work around Croy with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

What else we do in Croy
Compartments and services around Croy
Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Croy Parish Church Of Scotland sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Cantraybridge College, 0.9 miles south of Croy, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
Croy is about 7 miles south-west of Nairn, in Highland. We send applicators to Croy for service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 256 places across Highland fall within our area, Croy among them. We also cover Aberdeen, around 75 miles from Croy.
Anyone looking for fire stopping in IV2 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Among the streets we cover are Fraser Lane, MacKinnon Drive and Miller Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Newlands of Culloden (3 miles south-west), Ardersier (3 miles north), Balloch (4 miles south-west), Viewhill (4 miles south-west) and Cawdor (4 miles east). Further afield, our area takes in Inverness (9 miles south-west), Nairn (7 miles north-east), Cradlehall (5 miles south-west), Merkinch (9 miles west), Hilton (8 miles south-west) and Alness (15 miles north-west). Where a site is remote or on an island, we plan travel and materials carefully, so the full address helps from the start.
Near you in Croy
The nearest railway station is Inverness Airport station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Highland Aviation Museum (2.5 miles north-west) and Kilravock Castle (1.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Loch of the Clans.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Signs you need fire stopping in Croy
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
For a unit at a site such as Dalcross Industrial Estate (2.5 miles north-west of Croy), new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
