Fire stopping across Mosspark
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
- The total length or number of joints
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.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
About our fire stopping in Mosspark
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. If you are dealing with openings found when ceilings come down for a refit and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Mosspark? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook says a service penetration ought to match, as a minimum, how long the wall or floor resists fire. For a building in Mosspark, specified fire-rated sealant is installed as the maker’s tested detail describes.
Work we carry out in Glasgow comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions about Mosspark
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Ross Hall Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Mosspark?
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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
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.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.

What else we do in Mosspark
What the job involves on each surface
Plastic pipes
In a fire, plastic pipework melts away and leaves an opening. Some intumescent sealants are tested on smaller plastic pipes, though larger ones normally call for a collar or wrap. We confirm material and size first and tell you if sealant isn’t the right product.
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 before sealing.
Service penetrations in Mosspark buildings
Mosspark has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. A 2-mile radius around Mosspark takes in a number of hotels. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
Where a unit on an estate such as Craigton Industrial Estate (0.7 miles north of Mosspark), has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. Campus buildings at universities such as University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus (2.7 miles north-east of Mosspark) see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified. Shop fits in centres such as Silverburn Shopping Centre, 1.3 miles to the south of Mosspark, can bring new services through fire-resisting walls between units, which then need the specified seal.
Mosspark is about 2 miles south-west of Glasgow, in Glasgow. We send applicators to Mosspark for service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Mosspark is one of 171 places we cover in Glasgow.

Local landmarks in Mosspark
We work on buildings around Lourdes Secondary School, Craigholme School and Bellahouston Park and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Mosspark itself: Corkerhill station. Well-known places in the area include Silverburn Shopping Centre (1.3 miles south) and Haggs Castle (1.3 miles east).
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
