How we handle fire stopping in Old Struan
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you are dealing with unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can help, on pipe penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and linear gaps at wall heads alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Old Struan first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Old Struan, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Those penetrations are closed with the product the specification names, built up as tested.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Old Struan
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
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.
Penetration seals near Old Struan
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, with products tested for that end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Around Old Struan, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Common questions from Old Struan clients
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Old Struan?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Is a smaller place like Old Struan outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Pipe penetrations
Common problems we fix in Old Struan
Some seals fail because the wrong product went in: builders’ foam or ordinary silicone used to fill a hole. The opening looks sealed but has no fire test evidence behind it, so it has to come out.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Struan Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
