About our fire stopping in Hazelbank
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. So our job is to reproduce that arrangement faithfully. Site teams most often ask us about service penetrations left open after M&E works and fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover, across cable penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and pipe penetrations. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hazelbank tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For a building near Hazelbank, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Hazelbank
Is Hazelbank off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Hazelbank?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What hours do you work?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.

Do you need fire stopping in Hazelbank?
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls, which then have to be put right.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
On a hospital site such as William Smellie Memorial Hospital, 2.4 miles to the east of Hazelbank, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Compartment walls and floors in Hazelbank
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Hotels such as Tillietudlem Hotel, 1.5 miles to the north-west of Hazelbank, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Cables and cable bundles
New data and power cables are the most common breach we see. Openings around new cables are resealed to the detail.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
