Your questions answered
Is Kilbeg too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Kilbeg?
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.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
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.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Kilbeg
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our part is installing fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those openings and along linear gaps, where the specification calls for it. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail, not a rule of thumb. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damaged fire seals in risers and voids and penetration schedules that need working through. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kilbeg first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Kilbeg 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Kilbeg. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Compartment walls and floors in Kilbeg
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, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
For a building such as Sleat Parish Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing. Around Kilbeg, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

Quoting for work in Kilbeg
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Access details, including height
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kilbeg. 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.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- 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.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
