About our fire stopping in Greenhill
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. We work on cable penetrations, pipe penetrations and service gaps in risers, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back. Most enquiries from Greenhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Greenhill often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
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.

Your questions answered
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Greenhill?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Forth Valley Royal 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.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greenhill
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. 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.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Greenhill
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Compartment walls and floors in Greenhill
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Chattan Industrial Estate, 0.7 miles to the north-east of Greenhill, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Large healthcare estates like Forth Valley Royal Hospital, 2.9 miles north-east of Greenhill, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work. Schools such as Denny High School often have new data and services installed during holidays, and penetrations through fire-resisting walls should be checked afterwards.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Where we can, we combine work around Greenhill with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open

Advice
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much there is to seal
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
