Advice
How we handle fire stopping in Huntingtower
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls. Most enquiries from Huntingtower start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Huntingtower, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Questions about Huntingtower
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Huntingtower after a refit?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Perth Royal Infirmary?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Huntingtower
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is when untested combinations creep in, which then have to be put right.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
Large healthcare estates like Perth Royal Infirmary, 1.4 miles south-east of Huntingtower, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Huntingtower
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Huntingtower before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months

Compartments and services around Huntingtower
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, and products should be tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. The 2 miles around Huntingtower include seven care or nursing homes. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal.
For a unit at a centre such as St Catherine's Retail Park, 1.8 miles east of Huntingtower, penetration seals are worth checking after each shop fit. For a school such as Perth High School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
