How we handle fire stopping in Farr
Where pipes, cables and other services cross a compartment wall or floor, the opening around them has to be closed so fire and smoke can’t move between compartments. 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 rather than guesswork. If you are dealing with improvised or mixed-product fire seals and service penetrations left open after M&E works, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Farr first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Farr is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Questions about Farr
Would you work within a site like Raigmore Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Is Farr too far out for you?
Not at all. Farr is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks. Either way, we install the specified sealant to its tested detail.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.

Why it’s worth doing now in Farr
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these, and the other benefits follow. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Farr. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
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 you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Compartments and services around Farr
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 what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Buildings near Farr get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail. Large healthcare estates like Raigmore Hospital (to the north of Farr) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown, and report them promptly.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
Surface by surface
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.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork usually needs a different solution set by the designer, and we’ll say if that applies.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Working within restricted access windows
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Any dates the work must fit around
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
