Fire stopping across Moulin
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Moulin, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- 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.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How we handle fire stopping in Moulin
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 buildings around Moulin. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hidden openings found during inspections and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Moulin, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Moulin can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Compartment walls and floors in Moulin
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, and products should be tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail. Moulin has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal.
In a hotel such as Moulin Hotel (under half a mile south-east of Moulin), new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product. For a building such as Moulin Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
Moulin is about 17 miles north-west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross. Our applicators travel to Moulin for work on service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 114 places in Perth and Kinross, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Dundee page, about 33 miles away.

What affects the price in Moulin
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Common questions from Moulin clients
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Moulin after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Pitlochry Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you cover Moulin?
Yes. We take on work across Moulin, with one number for every area we cover.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Common problems we fix in Moulin
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Pitlochry Community Hospital, 0.9 miles south-west of Moulin, all have compartment walls crossed by services.
What your quote should include
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial clients in Moulin
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Moulin can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Perth and Kinross.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
