Fire stopping in Limerigg
Penetration seals are fire tested to BS EN 1366-3 and linear joint seals to BS EN 1366-4. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations, and what we are called in for most is non-fire-rated filler around services and hidden openings found during inspections. Whoever orders the work in Limerigg, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Limerigg often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions from Limerigg clients
Is a smaller place like Limerigg outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Wester Moffat Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the products and details used, and you can tell us what other records you need at quote stage.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Results are classified under BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. That rating only holds when the product is installed to its tested detail.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
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.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. A cracked or disturbed seal found early is a small job.
What affects the price in Limerigg
These are the things that shape the price:
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Limerigg, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- 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.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

What we’re called out for in Limerigg
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint. Linear joint details set a width range and movement capability, and the seal has to sit within them.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
At a healthcare site like Wester Moffat Hospital (5.4 miles south-west of Limerigg), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
