Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Port na Craig
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or email us with the schedule or marked-up drawings and the specified product data. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote. The enquiries we see most involve unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings and penetration schedules that need working through, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Most enquiries from Port na Craig start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Port na Craig 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- The postcode of the building
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. A repair should use the original product, installed the same way.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: smoke, noise and draughts pass through them every day. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these and the building feels the difference. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Port na Craig before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Questions we are asked in Port na Craig
Is a smaller place like Port na Craig 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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Pitlochry Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, that isn’t our role. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it, and tell you if a detail needs another product.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, 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. Internal work is rarely affected.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Fire-rated sealing for Port na Craig buildings
A 2-mile radius around Port na Craig takes in a good number of hotels. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are typically fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product.

Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Baptist Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.
