Service penetrations in Hayhill buildings
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. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
For buildings in and around Hayhill, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Around Hayhill, fire-stopping design belongs to the designer and building control; installation to the specification is our part.

How we handle fire stopping in Hayhill
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. The enquiries we see most involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, across service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. For commercial sealant work in Hayhill, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Hayhill is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photos of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
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.

What else we do in Hayhill
On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For work around Hayhill, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Hayhill. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Hayhill can form part of a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Hayhill. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
FAQs: Hayhill
Can you produce the fire-stopping design for a job in Hayhill?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Is Hayhill off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Phasing around occupants
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
