Compartment walls and floors in Kilmory
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Older community buildings such as Kilmory Parish Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. For a hotel such as Lagg Hotel, which lies west of Kilmory, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.
Kilmory is about 22 miles south-west of Saltcoats, in North Ayrshire. Anywhere in KA27, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our North Ayrshire coverage takes in 54 places. Our Glasgow page has more on work in that area.

How we handle fire stopping in Kilmory
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have hidden openings found during inspections and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can help, on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations alike. For commercial sealant work in Kilmory, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Kilmory, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Questions about Kilmory
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Kilmory?
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.
Is Kilmory too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Kilmory can form part of a wider programme across North Ayrshire.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, so it makes sense to get it right first time. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover

Cost factors for service penetrations
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- Any access equipment needed
- The product specified
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Kilmory, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Quotes
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Record which product was used where
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
