Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
How we handle fire stopping in Duncrievie
Facilities managers in Duncrievie often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and the failures we are asked to look at most are expanding foam used as fire stopping and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. For commercial sealant work in Duncrievie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a building near Duncrievie, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Bridge of Earn Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Duncrievie?
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. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Do you cover Duncrievie?
Yes. Sites across Duncrievie are covered.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter and we work within those limits.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Duncrievie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Why deal with it now?
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small and avoids a much larger catch-up later. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Duncrievie. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Penetration seals near Duncrievie
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, and products should be tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Older community buildings such as Arngask Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Bridge of Earn Hospital (5.3 miles north of Duncrievie) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
