About our fire stopping in Rothienorman
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and what we’re called in for most is seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls. Most enquiries from Rothienorman start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Rothienorman, 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will arrange a return visit.

Common questions from Rothienorman clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as House Of Daviot Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Rothienorman too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Rothienorman is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you reseal penetrations after our M&E works?
Yes. Share the penetration schedule and product details. Work can run area by area behind the M&E trades.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Rothienorman
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.

What else we do in Rothienorman
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself typically taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. For a building near Rothienorman, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints

Why act early in Rothienorman
An open or wrongly sealed service penetration lets fire and smoke reach the next compartment much sooner than the building was designed for. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Left until ceilings are closed or a tenant moves in, the same work costs more access and more disruption. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
