How we handle fire stopping in Kinfauns
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. We work on service gaps in risers, pipe penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads, and the failures we are asked to look at most are fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Kinfauns it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Kinfauns can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
What we’re called out for in Kinfauns
Damage plays a part too. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
Buildings near Kinfauns get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail.

Compartment walls and floors in Kinfauns
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, with products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
At a healthcare site like Murray Royal Hospital (2.7 miles north-west of Kinfauns), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.

Common questions from Kinfauns clients
Is Kinfauns off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Murray Royal Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Do you design or specify fire stopping?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it, and tell you if a detail needs another product.
What changes on 2 September 2029?
In England, references to the older BS 476 national classes are being removed from Approved Document B from 2 September 2029, with transitional arrangements set by the Government. After that, the European classification under BS EN 13501-2 is the route. Your designer will choose products with the right evidence.
Why act early in Kinfauns
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small and avoids a much larger catch-up later. 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: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
