About our fire stopping in Eastwood
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. We work to the product’s tested detail for every seal, not a rule of thumb. If you have service penetrations left open after M&E works and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can put it right, on service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Eastwood from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Older stone and tenement buildings in Scotland’s cities have normally been re-serviced many times. Before sealing, we confirm the wall or floor and the services passing through, so the product matches the detail.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why it’s worth doing now in Eastwood
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Fire stopping around Eastwood: 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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Eastwood. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
Refits at places like Auldhouse Retail Park, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Eastwood, often reroute services through walls between units. For a hotel such as Orchard Park Hotel, which lies south-east of Eastwood, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. Wherever services are added at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Eastwood, the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
Eastwood is about 1 mile north-west of Giffnock, in Glasgow. Commercial clients in Eastwood can call on us for service penetrations. We work across 171 places in Glasgow, large and small.

Questions we’re asked in Eastwood
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Eastwood?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Do you cover Eastwood?
Yes. We cover Eastwood and the rest of Glasgow. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables.
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. We check that the product’s detail covers that partition type and board thickness before sealing.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Give us the access times and building rules for your premises in Eastwood, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
Get a fixed quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
