Fire stopping across Freuchie
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Freuchie
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. If you are dealing with openings left by services added after handover and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can help, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, linear gaps at wall heads and service gaps in risers alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Freuchie? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Freuchie often have services added during refurbishment. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Freuchie
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls, which then have to be put right.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
Hospital estates such as Glenrothes Hospital, 3.1 miles to the south of Freuchie, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
What your quote should include
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
What happens if it’s left?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small, rather than turning into a full building survey and reseal. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Freuchie, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.

- Specification-led, product-correct work

Where services cross fire walls in Freuchie
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 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. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Freuchie. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
In a hotel such as Lomond Hills Hotel, less than half a mile to the west of Freuchie, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
FAQs: Freuchie
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Freuchie?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Freuchie?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
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.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
