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. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

On site: what to expect
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Where we can, we combine work around Midmar with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Before we start on site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Masonry and concrete
Many seals are made in blockwork, brickwork or concrete slabs. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.

Compartment walls and floors in Midmar
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 proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Around Midmar, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product. Office fit-outs on sites such as Kirkwood Business Park (2.5 miles north-east of Midmar) add cabling and pipework through fire-resisting walls, and fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Midmar
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail, by someone who knows the system.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small; found late, it can be one of many.
