Fire stopping for businesses in Eastfield
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- What the building is and how it’s used
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
How we handle fire stopping in Eastfield
Facilities managers in Eastfield 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 joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and service penetrations left open after M&E works. For commercial sealant work in Eastfield, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Eastfield often have services added during refurbishment. 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 a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in 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. Where we can, we combine work around Eastfield with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.

Compartment walls and floors in Eastfield
Four care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Eastfield. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified. Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, and products should be tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Tenant changes at centres like Craigmillar Shopping Centre, 2.2 miles to the south-west of Eastfield, often mean new services through walls between units. On estates like Fisher Row Industrial Estate, which lies south-east of Eastfield, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Campus buildings at universities such as Queen Margaret University (to the south of Eastfield) see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

Why deal with it now?
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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
