Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
About our fire stopping in Hastigrow
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is improvised or mixed-product fire seals and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated. For commercial sealant work in Hastigrow, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Hastigrow can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Other services in Hastigrow
Different surfaces, different methods
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

Compartment walls and floors in Hastigrow
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Wherever the building is near Hastigrow, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified. For buildings in and around Hastigrow, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

Questions about Hastigrow
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Hastigrow?
No, that sits with the designer, fire engineer or building control. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is Hastigrow too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Record which product was used where
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there, not months later.
