Questions about Grange
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Grange?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested detail, and telling you if the detail calls for something other than sealant.
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Grange?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Grange can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Perth and Kinross.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.

How the job changes by surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening, so the sealant and any backing sit properly.
Fire stopping around Grange: how the place shapes the job
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Buildings near Grange get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.

What we are called out for in Grange
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls, which then have to be put right.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
For any site around Grange, we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer.

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
