Fire stopping in Hillyland
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are expanding foam used as fire stopping and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Hillyland, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around smaller places such as Hillyland, 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. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Hillyland
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Hillyland?
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.
Will you work in a care home in Hillyland without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Plastic pipes
Plastic waste pipes through slabs come up often. The detail decides whether sealant alone is enough.
Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Service penetrations in Hillyland buildings
Hillyland has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. The 2 miles around Hillyland include eight care or nursing homes. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product.
Hospital estates such as Perth Royal Infirmary (to the south-east of Hillyland) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail. Office fit-outs on sites such as Inveralmond Business Centre, 0.9 miles to the north of Hillyland, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. For a school such as Perth High School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hillyland is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Why act early in Hillyland
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Hillyland. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
