About our fire stopping in Gullane
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. 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. If you have non-fire-rated filler around services and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Gullane start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a building near Gullane, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Gullane, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first. Around smaller places like Gullane, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
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 we will put a fixed figure on it.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Record which product was used where
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small.
FAQs: Gullane
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Edington Cottage Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Gullane?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors

Where services cross fire walls in Gullane
Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. The area within 2 miles of Gullane holds several hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like St Peter’s Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Hotels like Golf Hotel (to the west of Gullane) are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. At a healthcare site like Edington Cottage Hospital, 4.3 miles east of Gullane, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.
