Do you need fire stopping in Errol?
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access typically bring them to light.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
For buildings in and around Errol, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

Fire stopping in Errol
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Errol. If you’re dealing with fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and openings left by services added after handover, we can help. Most enquiries from Errol start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Errol can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Around smaller places like Errol, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, 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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Errol, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Questions about Errol
Is Errol too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Errol?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
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.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How do you choose the sealant?
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 do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
Surface by surface
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Compartments and services around Errol
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Errol Parish Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
