How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Quarriers Village, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.

Getting the site ready

Advice
Penetration seals near Quarriers Village
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 products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Mount Zion Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Make fire stopping part of every scope that crosses a fire-resisting wall
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Record which product was used where
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. It makes later repairs much easier to match.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
When to call us in Quarriers Village
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped, and the repair is often skipped.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Merchiston Hospital (4 miles east of Quarriers Village) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
What your quote should include
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Merchiston Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Quarriers Village?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using 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.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
