Fire stopping in Grandtully
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4 and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations, and what we are called in for most is builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Grandtully, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Grandtully is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photos of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach and each detail can be checked as we go. For buildings near Grandtully, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Take a look at what affects the cost and how we’re accredited.
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
How the job changes by surface
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Grandtully. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close

Service penetrations in Grandtully buildings
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Hospital estates such as Pitlochry Community Hospital (to the north-east of Grandtully) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. For a building such as Strathtay Parish Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. For a hotel such as The Grandtully Hotel (under half a mile north-west of Grandtully), penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Grandtully: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Pitlochry Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Grandtully outside your area?
Not at all. Grandtully is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
What changes on 2 September 2029?
It mainly affects England, where Approved Document B is dropping its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029. Products are then judged on BS EN 13501-2 classifications, subject to transitional arrangements. In Scotland, the Technical Handbook sets its own guidance, including clause 2.1.14 on service penetrations.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal any opening with fire-rated sealant?
No. It depends on the tested detail for that wall or floor and service. Large openings, many plastic pipes and some ducts need collars, wraps, batts or boards.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
