Why it’s worth doing now in Diuranais
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Around smaller places like Diuranais, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

About our fire stopping in Diuranais
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we are called in for most is head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and expanding foam used as fire stopping. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Diuranais is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Diuranais often have services added during refurbishment. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We follow your schedule area by area and tell you about openings outside the list.
When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Where services cross fire walls in Diuranais
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail. A 2-mile radius around Diuranais takes in a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
Hotels like Smoo Cave Hotel, 1.2 miles east of Diuranais, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. For buildings in and around Diuranais, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

Questions we’re asked in Diuranais
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Diuranais?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is Diuranais too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
When can you be on site?
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 need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Diuranais. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
