Fire stopping for commercial buildings in New Rayne
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints and the results are classified to BS EN 13501-2. That classification, such as EI 60 or EI 120, belongs to the product in its tested arrangement. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. If you’re dealing with old intumescent sealant that has split away and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover New Rayne? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Travel to smaller places like New Rayne is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photos of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Compartments and services around New Rayne
Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
For a unit at a site such as Insch Industrial Estate Advanced Factories, which lies west of New Rayne, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall.

Commercial clients in New Rayne
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first and the building feels the difference. Around smaller places like New Rayne, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like New Rayne is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, so check the product data first.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
FAQs: New Rayne
Is New Rayne too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Insch Industrial Estate Advanced Factories, near New Rayne?
Yes. Our area takes in New Rayne and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Insch Industrial Estate Advanced Factories included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
In short, BS EN 1366-3 and 1366-4 are the fire tests and BS EN 13501-2 is how results are classified. An EI 60 seal kept its integrity and insulation for 60 minutes as tested and the installation has to match the test.

Signs you need fire stopping in New Rayne
Fire stopping can get squeezed at the end of a programme, or done by whoever is on site. That is how unsuitable products and improvised details end up in compartment walls.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
Hospital estates such as Insch War Memorial Hospital, 2.8 miles to the west of New Rayne, are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
Questions to ask before you book
