Your questions answered
Is Maryton too far out for you?
Not at all. Maryton is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Maryton?
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.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
How we handle fire stopping in Maryton
It helps to set out our role at the start. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance on sites in Maryton. If you have builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Maryton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Maryton often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
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 report them promptly.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts.
Fire stopping around Maryton: points for this area
The area within 2 miles of Maryton holds a number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
On a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary, 4.6 miles to the east of Maryton, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Offices at parks like Logie Business Park, under half a mile to the west of Maryton, are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. In a building such as St Andrew's Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail.
Maryton is about 4 miles west of Forfar, in Angus. Any commercial site in Maryton is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 65 places in Angus, large and small. Dundee is covered too, around 13 miles from Maryton.

Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Where we can, we combine work around Maryton with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The site address and postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Plasterboard partitions are tested as a specific construction. The sealant detail has to be tested in that wall type, with the stated board layers first.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
