About our fire stopping in Danestone
Facilities managers in Danestone often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it, matching the product and detail it names. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. The enquiries we see most involve damaged fire seals in risers and voids and non-fire-rated filler around services, across pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. For commercial sealant work in Danestone, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older stone and tenement buildings in Scotland’s cities have normally been re-serviced many times. Wall type and service type decide the product, so both are checked before sealing, and design questions go to the designer or verifier.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. Getting access arranged for a building in Danestone takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For premises in Danestone, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we’ll plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.

Danestone: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Aberdeen for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Danestone after a refit?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
When something else is needed
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows

What else we do in Danestone
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Where services cross fire walls in Danestone
Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Danestone. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified. Danestone has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Residences at universities like University of Aberdeen (1.5 miles south-east of Danestone) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change. For a unit at a site such as Haudagain Retail Park (0.6 miles south-west of Danestone), any new service through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the tested detail. In a hotel such as Northern Hotel, which lies south-east of Danestone, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
