Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Innis nan Lìon
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. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on linear gaps at wall heads, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and hidden openings found during inspections. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Innis nan Lìon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a building near Innis nan Lìon, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Innis nan Lìon as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Innis nan Lìon before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
FAQs: Innis nan Lìon
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Innis nan Lìon?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Is Innis nan Lìon too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:

- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation

Common problems we fix in Innis nan Lìon
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position, so it has to come out.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
Around Innis nan Lìon, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
