Fire stopping for businesses in Lossiemouth
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Commercial clients in Lossiemouth
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Fire stopping in Lossiemouth, done properly
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. Each new cable, pipe or data route cut through a fire-resisting wall leaves an opening behind. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire sealant pulled out of the opening. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lossiemouth tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Lossiemouth often have services added during refurbishment. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Lossiemouth are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Why deal with it now?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. Putting it right is usually a modest job when the openings are accessible. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lossiemouth before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Access and working height
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
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.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Fire-rated sealing for Lossiemouth buildings
Lossiemouth has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
For a school such as Lossiemouth High School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. In a hotel such as Rock House Hotel, under half a mile north-east of Lossiemouth, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. Large healthcare estates like Spynie Hospital, 4.2 miles to the south of Lossiemouth, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.

Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown and get them dealt with.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Small sizes are sometimes covered by an intumescent sealant detail. We check the pipe material and diameter against the detail before we start.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance.
What else we do in Lossiemouth
Your questions answered
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Lossiemouth after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Lossiemouth?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
