Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Easthall
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Easthall
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is typically a modest job when the openings are accessible. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Around smaller places like Easthall, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Easthall. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Questions we are asked in Easthall
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Lightburn Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Glasgow Business Park, by Easthall?

Do you cover Easthall?
Yes. We cover Easthall, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Will you write the fire-stopping specification?
No. Deciding what is needed sits with the designer, fire engineer and building control. Our role is installing what they specify, to the product’s tested detail.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Keeping the joints sound
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, and it helps at inspections.
Where services cross fire walls in Easthall
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 what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Colleges such as Glasgow Kelvin College - East End Campus (2.9 miles west of Easthall) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product. Office fit-outs on sites such as Glasgow Business Park (to the east of Easthall) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
Surface by surface
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork typically needs a different solution set by the designer, and we’ll say if that applies.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables and we work within those limits.
When to call us in Easthall
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it, so it has to come out.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
For an estates team at a campus like University of Strathclyde, which lies west of Easthall, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing.
