When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hatton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.

How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Service risers and the voids above ceilings are where openings collect. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
Linear joints
Linear joints run along the head of a wall, at a slab edge or between two fire-resisting elements. Their tested detail, under BS EN 1366-4, sets the width, depth, backing and movement allowed and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Hatton: questions and answers
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Hatton?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is Hatton off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you need fire stopping in Hatton?
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. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
Wherever the building is near Hatton, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.
