When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
How we handle fire stopping in Port Dundas
On a fit-out or refurbishment, we follow the services contractors floor by floor. To price a package, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about non-fire-rated filler around services and snag lists that include open service penetrations, on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. For commercial sealant work in Port Dundas, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In Scotland’s cities, university, hospital and office estates see services added year after year, and new cabling and pipework through compartment walls is a common reason fire stopping gets breached. New openings are closed with the specified fire-rated product, following its test evidence.
Work we carry out in Glasgow comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

More services for Port Dundas
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Port Dundas can form part of a wider programme across Glasgow.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Never top up a fire seal with foam, ordinary silicone or filler. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original, or a new specification from the designer.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Questions we’re asked in Port Dundas
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around Port Dundas?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Glasgow Caledonian University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is Port Dundas in your area?
Yes. We take on work across Port Dundas.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you need to see the site first?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
What happens if it’s left?
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. Getting access arranged for a building in Port Dundas takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.

Advice
Penetration seals near Port Dundas
Scottish guidance (non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14) asks that penetrations match at least the fire resistance period of the element they pass through, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. A 2-mile radius around Port Dundas takes in plenty of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.
On a site such as Craighall Business Park, under half a mile to the north-west of Port Dundas, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product. For a hospital such as Glasgow Royal Infirmary, 1 mile south-east of Port Dundas, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. Colleges such as City of Glasgow College - City Campus (0.7 miles south-east of Port Dundas) add IT and services as courses change, and each new penetration through a fire-resisting wall needs sealing with the specified product.
