How we handle fire stopping in Hatton of Fintray
Facilities managers in Hatton of Fintray often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. Site teams most often ask us about builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations. For commercial sealant work in Hatton of Fintray, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places such as Hatton of Fintray, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why deal with it now?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these, and the other benefits follow. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Hatton of Fintray before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

Fire stopping in Hatton of Fintray: 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, with products tested for that end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
For a unit at a site such as Blackburn Industrial Estate (2.6 miles south-west of Hatton of Fintray), new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Old Parish Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. On a hospital site such as Kingseat Hospital (4.4 miles north-east of Hatton of Fintray), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

How the job changes by surface

Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Questions we are asked in Hatton of Fintray
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Hatton of Fintray?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Is Hatton of Fintray off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. For work around Hatton of Fintray, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
