Compartment walls and floors in Lands of Tour and Kirkland
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Industrial units on estates such as Bonnyton Industrial Estate, 1.4 miles south of Lands of Tour and Kirkland, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal. Holiday works at schools like Saint Joseph's Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.

About our fire stopping in Lands of Tour and Kirkland
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Lands of Tour and Kirkland. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations, and what we’re called in for most is expanding foam used as fire stopping and unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab. Most enquiries from Lands of Tour and Kirkland start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Lands of Tour and Kirkland is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lands of Tour and Kirkland is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Related advice
Signs you need fire stopping in Lands of Tour and Kirkland
Linear gaps fail where a fire-resisting wall meets a slab, soffit or another wall. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Ayrshire College - Kilmarnock Campus, 1.5 miles south-east of Lands of Tour and Kirkland, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?

What else we do in Lands of Tour and Kirkland
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as University Hospital Crosshouse somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you work at a site such as Bonnyton Industrial Estate, by Lands of Tour and Kirkland?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lands of Tour and Kirkland, Bonnyton Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Ducts are only sealed with sealant where the detail allows it. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lands of Tour and Kirkland
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
