Fire stopping in Kingoodie, done properly
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and raise it with you if it falls outside. Site teams most often ask us about hidden openings found during inspections and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Kingoodie from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Kingoodie 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Compartment walls and floors in Kingoodie
The 2 miles around Kingoodie include two care or nursing homes. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. A 2-mile radius around Kingoodie takes in a number of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
Office fit-outs on sites such as Dundee Technology Park, 1 mile to the north-east of Kingoodie, add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it. For a hotel such as The Landmark Hotel, which lies north of Kingoodie, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Kingoodie

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Record which product was used where
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
FAQs: Kingoodie
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ninewells Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Dundee for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is BS 476 being phased out?
For buildings in England, Approved Document B removes BS 476 references from 2 September 2029. Products are then judged on BS EN 13501-2 classifications, subject to transitional arrangements. Scotland follows its own Technical Handbook, with clause 2.1.14 covering service penetrations.
Is Kingoodie in your area?
Yes. Sites across Kingoodie are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Send the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product details and a fixed quote follows. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades so areas aren’t left open.
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Kingoodie. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Surface by surface
Small ducts
Some fire-rated sealant details cover small ducts. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products, and we will say if that applies.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers and the installation has to fit inside those limits.

What else we do in Kingoodie
What affects the price in Kingoodie
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Your programme or deadline
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Do you need fire stopping in Kingoodie?
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
Older community buildings such as All Souls Episcopal Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification.
