Fire stopping in Haggs
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve fire sealant pulled out of the opening and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Haggs tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Haggs 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What the job involves on each surface
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Plastic pipes
Waste and drainage pipes through floors are a frequent case. Whether sealant alone is acceptable depends entirely on the tested detail, and we won’t substitute it for a specified collar.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Haggs is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- 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
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Quoting for work in Haggs
What shapes the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
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 us.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Haggs
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Haggs can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Haggs
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. 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 Haggs, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

What we are called out for in Haggs
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
For a school such as Abronhill High School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Fire stopping in Haggs: the local picture
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Hotels like Castlecary Hotel, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Haggs, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls. On estates like Chattan Industrial Estate, which lies east of Haggs, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.

Common questions from Haggs clients
Can you work at a site such as Chattan Industrial Estate, by Haggs?
Yes. We cover Haggs and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chattan Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forth Valley Royal Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
Do you seal openings left by new services?
Yes, provided a specification covers them. Openings left by new services are among the most common jobs we see and we close them with the specified product.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. Our part is fitting the specified product to its tested detail.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
