How we handle fire stopping in Fraserburgh
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. Most enquiries involve snag lists that include open service penetrations and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Fraserburgh it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
After refits and M&E works in buildings around Fraserburgh, gaps around new services are a common finding. If fire-rated sealant is the named product, it is installed as tested; if the detail needs a different item, we’ll point that out.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original, or a new specification from the designer.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- 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
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
Why deal with it now?
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. Putting it right is normally a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Water through a failed joint in a building in Fraserburgh can spoil ceilings, floors and stock. Putting it right early limits the damage.
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 will have a fixed figure to work with.

Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Common questions from Fraserburgh clients
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Fraserburgh?
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. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Fraserburgh?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.

What else we do in Fraserburgh
Where services cross fire walls in Fraserburgh
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Fraserburgh. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Fraserburgh. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like North East Scotland College - Fraserburgh Campus, under half a mile to the west of Fraserburgh, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. Holiday works at schools like Fraserburgh Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.

What we’re called out for in Fraserburgh
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Fraserburgh Hospital, less than half a mile to the north-west of Fraserburgh, all have compartment walls crossed by services.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Several buildings in and around Fraserburgh can be done on one programme, with one quote. Share your working hours and access arrangements and we’ll fit in.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
