The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply

Fire stopping in Kirkton of Craig
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, often unnoticed. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. The enquiries we see most involve expanding foam used as fire stopping and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Kirkton of Craig, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Kirkton of Craig, 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, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cables and cable bundles
Cable penetrations are frequently sealed with fire-rated sealant where the detail allows. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables, so we check before sealing.
Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Kirkton of Craig, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Questions we are asked in Kirkton of Craig
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Kirkton of Craig?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Is Kirkton of Craig too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, 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.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Penetration seals near Kirkton of Craig
A 2-mile radius around Kirkton of Craig takes in several 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. 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 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 George Hotel (1.4 miles north-east of Kirkton of Craig), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a school such as Montrose Academy, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. Industrial units on estates such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, 2.6 miles north of Kirkton of Craig, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
