Fire stopping in Kenmore
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, with no gaps along the run.
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
How we handle fire stopping in Kenmore
No fire sealant works on its own: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Most enquiries involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kenmore is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Kenmore can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Your questions answered
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Kenmore?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Is Kenmore off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Fire stopping around Kenmore: points for this area
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Kenmore. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
For a hotel such as Kenmore Hotel, which lies west of Kenmore, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
Kenmore is about 24 miles north-west of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Our applicators travel to Kenmore for work on service penetrations. Kenmore is one of 114 places we cover in Perth and Kinross for service penetrations. We also cover Dundee, around 40 miles from Kenmore.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
When to call us in Kenmore
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Around Kenmore, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.
Comparing quotes
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, 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. Jobs near Kenmore are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
