For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kinloch Rannoch can form part of a wider programme.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Fire stopping in Kinloch Rannoch, done properly
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. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. Site teams most often ask us about penetration schedules that need working through and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, across service gaps in risers, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations. Most enquiries from Kinloch Rannoch start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Kinloch Rannoch, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Kinloch Rannoch as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Kinloch Rannoch is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. If the gap exceeds the tested range, sealant alone won’t do and we’ll tell you what the detail says instead.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
Signs you need fire stopping in Kinloch Rannoch
Damage plays a part too. Maintenance work can knock a seal, cut it back for an extra cable or remove it with an old pipe, and the repair is often skipped.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Openings left by services added after handover
Hotels like Dunalastair Hotel, less than half a mile to the west of Kinloch Rannoch, are refurbished in phases, and each phase can open up compartment walls.

Common questions from Kinloch Rannoch clients
Is a smaller place like Kinloch Rannoch outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Kinloch Rannoch?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
The simplest way to keep compartment walls intact is to plan fire stopping into every job that crosses them. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there.
Service penetrations in Kinloch Rannoch buildings
Kinloch Rannoch has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. 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. 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.
For a building such as The Old Church Of Rannoch, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
