Fire stopping for Lands of Broomlands sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How the job changes by surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in.
Plastic pipes
Plastic pipes soften and collapse in a fire. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail, though larger ones usually call for a collar or wrap. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.

Your questions answered
Is Lands of Broomlands too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lands of Broomlands are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Lands of Broomlands?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using 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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Look for cracks, unsealed new cables and gaps that have been enlarged.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there instead of being left for someone else.
Signs you need fire stopping in Lands of Broomlands
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Unsealed openings around new pipes and cables
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Holiday works at schools like Greenwood Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area

Fire-rated sealing for Lands of Broomlands buildings
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, and products should be tested for their end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Lands of Broomlands. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
