About our fire stopping in Inverarity
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you have unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Inverarity is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Inverarity, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Signs you need fire stopping in Inverarity
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
On a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary, which lies north of Inverarity, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

Quoting for work in Inverarity
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Questions we’re asked in Inverarity
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Forfar 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.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Inverarity?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Do you work in Inverarity?
Yes. We cover Inverarity, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Record which product was used where
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.

What else we do in Inverarity
Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
Metal pipes
Heat travels along metal pipework. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Inverarity. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
