About our fire stopping in Dunecht
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and expanding foam used as fire stopping, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Dunecht is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For a building near Dunecht, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Send the specification and photos of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Commercial clients in Dunecht
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Dunecht. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Cost factors for service penetrations
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Your questions answered
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Dunecht?
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. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Is Dunecht too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Dunecht is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
Fire stopping around Dunecht: how the place shapes the job
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.
For a building at a site such as Kirkwood Business Park, which lies west of Dunecht, a check of penetration seals after each fit-out is good practice. For buildings in and around Dunecht, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Dunecht is about 8 miles south of Inverurie, in Aberdeenshire. Across the AB32 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Why act early in Dunecht
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. For buildings near Dunecht, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
