About our fire stopping in Eòlaigearraidh
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Site teams most often ask us about fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Eòlaigearraidh it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Eòlaigearraidh can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Eòlaigearraidh as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Where services cross fire walls in Eòlaigearraidh
Work on Eòlaigearraidh has to fit the ferry timetable and the forecast. The specification and photos of each penetration let us bring the right products first time. Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Around Eòlaigearraidh, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product. Wherever the building is near Eòlaigearraidh, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations

- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
What the job involves on each surface
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point so we know it sits within the tested range.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Around smaller places like Eòlaigearraidh, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

FAQs: Eòlaigearraidh
Is Eòlaigearraidh inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland, and that includes island locations such as Eòlaigearraidh. We plan island jobs around the ferry and the forecast, and bring everything the job needs on the first crossing.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Eòlaigearraidh?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Any access equipment needed
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. If you have questions first, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
