FAQs: Glen More
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Glen More?
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.
Is Glen More too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Glen More are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
How we handle fire stopping in Glen More
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Glen More, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a building near Glen More, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- What the building is and how it’s used

Fire-rated sealing for Glen More buildings
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. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Around Glen More, fire-stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; installation to the specification is our part.
Glen More is in Highland. Anywhere in IV40, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, including Glen More.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Signs you need fire stopping in Glen More
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Look out for the following:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
Buildings near Glen More get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.
What to look for in a quote
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Where we can, we combine work around Glen More with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Why act early in Glen More
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
