Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in, along the full length of the run.
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access to these areas is planned with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Fire stopping in Roadside of Kinneff
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, and they are easy to forget. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you have head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Roadside of Kinneff tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Refurbishments in small hotels, schools and care homes around places like Roadside of Kinneff can leave gaps around new services. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
From enquiry to sign-off
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 Roadside of Kinneff, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Fire-rated sealing for Roadside of Kinneff buildings
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Hospital estates such as Woodcot Hospital (to the north of Roadside of Kinneff) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
Roadside of Kinneff is about 14 miles north-east of Montrose, in Aberdeenshire. Across the DD10 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across Aberdeenshire, 179 places are covered, Roadside of Kinneff among them. Aberdeen is covered too, some 19 miles away.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail using the same product.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned.
Questions about Roadside of Kinneff
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Woodcot Hospital, something you do?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is a smaller place like Roadside of Kinneff 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.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We’ll confirm the products and details used, and you can tell us what other records you need at quote stage.
Do you work in Scotland as well as England?
Building standards in Scotland are separate from England’s, while England relies on Approved Document B. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Roadside of Kinneff
Plenty of openings were simply never closed because they sat out of sight above a ceiling or inside a riser. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Penetration schedules that need working through
For a building such as Kinneff And Catterline Parish Church, new heating or data runs are the usual reason penetrations need sealing.
