How we handle fire stopping in Dailly
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations, and what we are called in for most is openings left by services added after handover and old intumescent sealant that has split away. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Dailly 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 Dailly 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 we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.
Cost factors for service penetrations
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Compartments and services around Dailly
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, and products should be tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Girvan Community Hospital (to the west of Dailly) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product. For buildings in and around Dailly, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

What else we do in Dailly
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
Surface by surface
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.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically, and note anything we find that isn’t on it.
Our process
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dailly is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints

Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

Questions about Dailly
Is a hospital such as Girvan Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Dailly too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No. We are not members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme. Our credentials are CHAS accreditation, Constructionline membership and CSCS-carded applicators, and we are fully insured. Where a client or main contractor requires a scheme member, we’ll say so right away rather than waste your time.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Building standards in Scotland are separate from England’s, while England relies on Approved Document B. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
Is sealant suitable for all service openings?
No. Each fire-rated sealant is tested for particular services, gap sizes and substrates. Outside that, a different product is needed.
