On site: what to expect
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 longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

About our fire stopping in Logie
Facilities managers in Logie often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is openings left by services added after handover and old intumescent sealant that has split away. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Logie? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Large city estates in Scotland, from universities to hospitals and offices, are re-serviced constantly, and each new run of cable or pipe through a compartment wall needs sealing. Intumescent sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with backing and depth as tested.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Questions about Logie
Can you work at a site such as Mid Wynd Industrial Estate, by Logie?
Yes. We cover Logie and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Mid Wynd Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work in a care setting near Logie go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off isn’t ours to give, and we don’t hold a third-party installer certificate. We work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you work in Scotland as well as England?
Our work covers Greater London, the South East and every Scottish council area. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, using products tested for their end use.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Fire stopping in Logie: the local picture
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, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail. The area within 2 miles of Logie holds plenty of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Dundee and Angus College - Kingsway Campus, 1.9 miles to the north-east of Logie, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. On estates like Mid Wynd Industrial Estate (0.6 miles south-east of Logie), the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Royal Victoria Hospital, 0.5 miles to the west of Logie, all have compartment walls crossed by services.
Logie is about 1 mile south-west of Dundee, in Dundee. Any commercial site in Logie is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. 28 places across Dundee fall within our area, Logie among them.

What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original, or a new specification from the designer.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
