Why deal with it now?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Fire stopping in Netherton, done properly
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. If you’re dealing with fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Netherton it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Tenement blocks and converted stone buildings in Scottish cities often hide old service routes through walls and floors. Before sealing, we confirm the wall or floor and the services passing through, so the product matches the detail.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Work on a big city site in Scotland usually involves inductions and permits. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- 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.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Agree which areas must stay open

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

FAQs: Netherton
Will you work in a care home in Netherton without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Our work covers Greater London, the South East and every Scottish council area. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, with proprietary products tested for the end use.
