Fire stopping in Harrapul, done properly
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance on sites in Harrapul. If you have fire stopping installed outside its tested range and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Harrapul is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Harrapul 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. Around smaller places like Harrapul, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. 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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Signs you need fire stopping in Harrapul
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
In a hotel such as Hotel Dunollie, which lies west of Harrapul, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
What to look for in a quote
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Harrapul: questions and answers
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Harrapul after a refit?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Broadford Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Can you work to our specification?
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.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

What else we do in Harrapul
Where services cross fire walls in Harrapul
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Harrapul. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
On a hospital site such as Broadford Hospital (1.1 miles north-west of Harrapul), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
Harrapul (Gaelic: Harrapool) is in Highland. Our applicators travel to Harrapul for work on service penetrations. Our Highland coverage takes in 256 places, large and small.
If you need fire stopping in IV49, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. For a building on Old School Square and Glas Eilean Court or nearby, we can quote for service penetrations. If your building is just outside Harrapul, we cover Blackpark (1 mile west), An t-Àth Leathann (1 mile west), Corry (1 mile north-west), Kyleakin (6 miles north-east) and Kyle of Lochalsh (7 miles north-east). For island and remote sites, travel and materials need planning ahead, so the full address helps from the start.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Harrapul can form part of a wider programme across Highland.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Harrapul. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Where we can, we combine work around Harrapul with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
