How we handle fire stopping in Logan
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints, with results classified under BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you’re dealing with seals that don’t match their tested detail and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Logan from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Logan, buildings with fire-resisting walls typically include schools, care homes, hotels and health centres. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How a job runs
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Logan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. 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.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads

Logan: questions and answers
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Logan?
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. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Logan?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Penetration seals near Logan
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Logan. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
At a healthcare site like East Ayrshire Community Hospital, 1.7 miles to the west of Logan, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. In a hotel such as Dumfries Arms Hotel (1.2 miles west of Logan), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a school such as Robert Burns Academy, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. For buildings near Logan, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we’ll quote for everything together.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
