How we handle fire stopping in Drumclog
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and hidden openings found during inspections. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Drumclog it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Drumclog 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.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Drumclog: questions and answers
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Drumclog?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using 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.
Do you design the fire stopping for buildings in Drumclog?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in Drumclog?
Yes. Sites across Drumclog are covered.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Fire-rated sealing for Drumclog buildings
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Drumclog Memorial Kirk sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. For buildings in and around Drumclog, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
Owners, agents and contractors
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Drumclog is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open

Why act early in Drumclog
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Late discoveries can delay handover while openings are reopened and resealed which is why earlier is better. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Drumclog. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
