Fire stopping in Greenwall
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Greenwall from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
For a building near Greenwall, 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.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions we’re asked in Greenwall
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Greenwall?
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.
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Greenwall?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do you work in Greenwall?
Yes. We cover Greenwall, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.

Service penetrations in Greenwall buildings
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, and products should be tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Buildings near Greenwall get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.

From enquiry to sign-off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Jobs near Greenwall are often grouped with others in the same area, 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.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Do you need fire stopping in Greenwall?
Openings in fire-resisting walls normally appear when services are added or changed. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
Wherever the building is near Greenwall, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.

Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening, with backing added if the detail requires it.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Access and working height
- The size and state of each joint
Pricing service penetrations depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
