Fire stopping in Loans of Tullich, done properly
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. If you have unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Loans of Tullich 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.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Loans of Tullich can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Loans of Tullich clients
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Loans of Tullich?
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.
Does your area include sites such as Cadboll Industrial Estate, near Loans of Tullich?
Yes, sites like Cadboll Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Loans of Tullich. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. For work around Loans of Tullich, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Ask for a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and installation follows the programme.
What affects the price in Loans of Tullich
Before we quote, we look at:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Leave it or put it right?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. 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.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
