What we’re called out for in Fyvie
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 and later need putting right.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
In a building such as St Peter's Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
Before you book anyone
- What site paperwork they can supply
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
About our fire stopping in Fyvie
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. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance. If you have service penetrations left open after M&E works and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fyvie from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a building near Fyvie, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, with no gaps along the run.

FAQs: Fyvie
Is a smaller place like Fyvie outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Fyvie?
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.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Fyvie is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
