Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Dunblane
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, often unnoticed. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. If you have improvised or mixed-product fire seals and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab, we can put it right, on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers alike. Most enquiries from Dunblane start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Dunblane can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
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.

Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- How much there is to seal
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dunblane is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- 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.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Agree which areas must stay open
Quotes
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to discuss it first.

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate.
Common questions from Dunblane clients
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Stirling?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Dunblane, such as Duckburn Park Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Dunblane and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Duckburn Park Industrial Estate included. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. With the designer’s details in hand, we can price the sealant elements, and tell you if a detail needs another product.
Is Dunblane in your area?
Yes. We cover Dunblane, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunblane
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach, and the right detail can be checked at the time. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Penetration seals near Dunblane
Dunblane has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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, with products tested for that end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Duckburn Park Industrial Estate (to the south of Dunblane) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. At a university such as University of Stirling, 3.5 miles to the south-east of Dunblane, labs, lecture blocks and residences are re-serviced often, so penetration seals are best checked after M&E work. For a hotel such as Stirling Arms Hotel, under half a mile to the south of Dunblane, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
