Fire stopping in Lownie Moor, done properly
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations, and the failures we are asked to look at most are head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Lownie Moor is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Lownie Moor 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.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Around smaller places like Lownie Moor, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
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.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Compartment walls and floors in Lownie Moor
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 products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Lownie Moor. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
On a site such as Restenneth Business Park, which lies north of Lownie Moor, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product. Large healthcare estates like Forfar Infirmary (1.6 miles north-west of Lownie Moor) change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Lownie Moor is about 2 miles south-east of Forfar, in Angus. Anywhere in DD8, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 65 places in Angus. We also cover Dundee, around 12 miles from Lownie Moor.
Business premises anywhere in DD8 are within our area. We also cover Kingsmuir (1 mile north), Hillend (1 mile east), Craichie (2 miles south-east), Forfar (2 miles north-west) and Lunanhead (2 miles north) for service penetrations. Further afield, our area takes in Arbroath (11 miles south-east), Monifieth (10 miles south), Carnoustie (10 miles south-east), Kirriemuir (7 miles north-west), Brechin (10 miles north-east) and Hunter's Town (10 miles south-east).

What else we do in Lownie Moor
Common questions from Lownie Moor clients
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Lownie Moor?
Yes, where the specification calls for fire-rated sealant. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Forfar Infirmary, something you do?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Lownie Moor. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- 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.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Ask for a quote
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us if you’d rather talk the job through.

Cost factors for service penetrations
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Record which product was used where
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
Looking at service areas on a regular cycle pays off. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
