About our fire stopping in Gargunnock
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail rather than guesswork. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we are called in for most is fire stopping installed outside its tested range and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover. For commercial sealant work in Gargunnock, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Gargunnock 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.

When to call us in Gargunnock
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped and the opening isn’t always resealed.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
Hospital estates such as Stirling Health and Care Centre, 5.8 miles to the east of Gargunnock, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Common questions from Gargunnock clients
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Gargunnock?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Stirling Health and Care Centre, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Where we can, we combine work around Gargunnock with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest against the detail’s limits, and any outside it are raised with you.
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, but many need a collar or wrap. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Record which product was used where
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
Where services cross fire walls in Gargunnock
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, and products should be tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Parish Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
