Quoting for work in Longmorn
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:

No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

- Any dates the work must fit around
- The postcode of the building
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
About our fire stopping in Longmorn
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in Longmorn. We work on cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and pipe penetrations, and what we are called in for most is builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and old intumescent sealant that has split away. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Longmorn? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Travel to smaller places like Longmorn 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

- 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.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site

General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Fire-rated sealing for Longmorn buildings
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Moray College UHI - Technology Centre (2.4 miles north of Longmorn) are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. At a healthcare site like Dr Gray's Hospital, 3.1 miles north-west of Longmorn, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Industrial units on estates such as Troves Industrial Estate, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Longmorn, often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
Longmorn is about 3 miles south-east of Elgin, in Moray. Anywhere in IV30, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Moray coverage takes in 59 places. We also cover Aberdeen, some 53 miles away.
Work on service penetrations is covered throughout IV30. We also cover Fogwatt (1 mile south), Thomshill (1 mile west), Hallowood (2 miles north-east), Ashgrove (2 miles north) and Elgin (3 miles north-west). Nearby towns on our patch include Buckie (13 miles east), Forres (12 miles west), Lossiemouth (8 miles north), Keith (13 miles east), Burghead (10 miles north-west) and Fochabers (7 miles east). Where a site is remote or on an island, travel and materials need planning ahead.

How the job changes by surface
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe. If the detail needs something beyond sealant, we tell you.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail, and any bundle too large for sealant alone is flagged.
Longmorn: questions and answers
Is Longmorn too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Moray College UHI - Technology Centre for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
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. Our part is fitting the specified product to its tested detail, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is the BS 476 change in 2029 relevant to fire stopping?
It mainly affects England, where Approved Document B is dropping its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029. Classification to BS EN 13501-2 becomes the expected evidence, though transitional rules apply. In Scotland, the Technical Handbook sets its own guidance, with clause 2.1.14 covering service penetrations.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
Why it’s worth doing now in Longmorn
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Longmorn, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- One number for every site we cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
