About our fire stopping in Glenfarg
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. Site teams most often ask us about unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations. For commercial sealant work in Glenfarg, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Glenfarg 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. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Glenfarg is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Penetration seals near Glenfarg
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Arngask Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.

Your questions answered
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Glenfarg?
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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Bridge of Earn Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Quoting for work in Glenfarg
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail, by someone who knows the system.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.
When to call us in Glenfarg
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
Large healthcare estates like Bridge of Earn Hospital (4.7 miles north of Glenfarg) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
