Fire stopping in Pitreavie
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you’re dealing with seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and non-fire-rated filler around services, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Pitreavie? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around smaller places such as Pitreavie, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in 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. Jobs near Pitreavie are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
Cost factors for service penetrations
These are the things that shape the price:
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- How accessible the joints are
- Distance, for remote addresses
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What happens if it’s left?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down. For buildings near Pitreavie, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Fire stopping in Pitreavie: the local picture
The 2 miles around Pitreavie include five care or nursing homes. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The area within 2 miles of Pitreavie holds 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.
Offices at parks like Carnegie Business Park (under half a mile south-east of Pitreavie) are re-cabled with each new tenant, and compartment walls need sealing afterwards to the tested detail. At a college such as Fife College, 1.5 miles to the south of Pitreavie, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice.

Signs you need fire stopping in Pitreavie
Head-of-wall joints and wall-to-wall junctions are frequent weak points. Movement in the frame or slab can open the joint, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Fire-stopping items raised at inspection or handover
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Lynebank Hospital (2 miles north of Pitreavie) all have compartment walls crossed by services.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Building owners, agents and FMs in Pitreavie
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
FAQs: Pitreavie
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Pitreavie?
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.
Is a hospital such as Lynebank Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
