Fire stopping in Newtyle
No fire sealant works on its own: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and raise it with you if it falls outside. The enquiries we see most involve fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated and hidden openings found during inspections, across joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Newtyle, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Newtyle often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Penetration seals near Newtyle
Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Buildings near Newtyle get the fire-rated product that’s specified, installed to its tested detail. On a hospital site such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital (6 miles south-east of Newtyle), fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits.

Questions about Newtyle
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal Dundee Liff Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Newtyle?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Surface by surface
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range and we’ll tell you what the detail says instead.
Masonry and concrete
Openings through concrete vary from tidy cores to rough break-outs. Each gap is measured where it is widest against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
How a job runs
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. For work around Newtyle, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Ask for a quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.

Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail.
Regular walk-rounds of service areas are worth the time. Catching a damaged seal early keeps the fix small compared with dozens found at once.
