For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end, plus a 12-month guarantee.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Newton
No fire sealant works on its own: 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. Most enquiries involve penetration schedules that need working through and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, across small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Newton first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Newton is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
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 are clear about what is covered before work starts.

What we’re called out for in Newton
On a busy project, programme pressure can mean fire stopping is rushed or left to whichever trade is closest. That is when untested combinations creep in and later need putting right.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
In a school such as Uddingston Grammar School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
How the job changes by surface
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. Bundle size, cable type and the space between cables all matter, so we check before sealing.
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on, so we check each one.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Fire-rated sealing for Newton buildings
A 2-mile radius around Newton 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. 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 products tested for that end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Kirklands Hospital (to the east of Newton) all have compartment walls crossed by services. Residences at universities like University of Strathclyde (to the north-west of Newton) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.
