Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Patna with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Let us know about inductions and permits

How we handle fire stopping in Patna
The test standards are BS EN 1366-3 for penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 for linear joints. A rating such as EI 60 only holds when the product is installed as it was tested. Reproducing the tested arrangement on site is the part we take care of. Most enquiries involve head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and openings left by services added after handover, on cable penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and pipe penetrations. Most enquiries from Patna start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Patna can leave gaps around new services. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Common questions from Patna clients
Is Patna off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Patna?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
How the job changes by surface
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products.
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail and we confirm each before sealing.

General trades versus a specialist
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
What we’re called out for in Patna
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Service penetrations left open after M&E works
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Penetration schedules that need working through
Wherever the building is near Patna, design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control; we install what has been specified.

Fire stopping around Patna: points for this area
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 products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Around Patna, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Patna. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
