Fire stopping in Lonmore: the local picture
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lonmore. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail. 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 proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Hotels such as Dunvegan Hotel, 1.2 miles to the north-west of Lonmore, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Lonmore is in Highland. We send applicators to Lonmore for service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Lonmore is one of 256 places we cover in Highland.

How we handle fire stopping in Lonmore
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. We work on pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and improvised or mixed-product fire seals. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Lonmore? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
For a building near Lonmore, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Highland. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What else we do in Lonmore
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lonmore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Common questions from Lonmore clients
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Lonmore?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is Lonmore too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Any access equipment needed
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Specification clauses that apply
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Do you need fire stopping in Lonmore?
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
Around Lonmore, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

For managing agents and facilities managers
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Lonmore, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
