Fire stopping in Kincraig, done properly
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have fire sealant pulled out of the opening and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Kincraig, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Kincraig, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Service penetrations in Kincraig buildings
Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
In a hotel such as Suie Hotel, under half a mile to the south-west of Kincraig, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Large healthcare estates like St Vincent's Hospital (to the south-west of Kincraig) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Kincraig is about 26 miles south-east of Inverness, in Highland. Across the PH21 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 256 places in Highland. There’s a separate page for Dundee, about 58 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in PH21 are within our area for service penetrations. Among the streets we cover are Macrae Crescent, Suidhe Crescent and Suidhe Brae, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. We also cover Badenoch (6 miles north-east), Kingussie (6 miles south-west), Coylumbridge (6 miles north-east), Aviemore (6 miles north-east) and Newtonmore (9 miles south-west) for service penetrations. Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.

FAQs: Kincraig
Is hospital work, at somewhere like St Vincent's Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Kincraig?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Surface by surface
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate.

Quoting for work in Kincraig
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Kincraig, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Why deal with it now?
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Kincraig, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Do you need fire stopping in Kincraig?
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: expanding foam or a general-purpose sealant pushed into a gap to tidy it. It may look closed, but it has no tested fire performance in that position.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
For a building such as Insh Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
