Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Cost factors for service penetrations
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline

About our fire stopping in Scone
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, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. The enquiries we see most involve fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and penetration schedules that need working through, on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and cable penetrations. Searching for sealant specialists in Scone? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For a building near Scone, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions about Scone
Can you work in a care home near Scone with residents in?
Yes, with the manager deciding the order and timing of rooms. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Is a hospital such as Murray Royal Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No, and we won’t imply otherwise. Some clients require third-party installer schemes even though the law doesn’t, so it’s worth checking what your contract says. Where it isn’t required, we install the specified sealant to the maker’s details.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
What do BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2 mean?
BS EN 1366-3 covers penetration seals and BS EN 1366-4 covers linear joints. Classification follows BS EN 13501-2, where E is integrity, I is insulation and the number is minutes, as in EI 60. The rating applies to the product as tested.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Where services cross fire walls in Scone
The area within 2 miles of Scone holds a good number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
For a hotel such as SkyLodge Hotel, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Scone, penetration seals are worth checking after any refit or services upgrade. In a retail centre such as St John's Shopping Centre, 2 miles south-west of Scone, any fire-resisting wall between units that is crossed by new services needs sealing to the tested detail.
Scone is about 2 miles north-east of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Anywhere in PH2, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Scone is one of 114 places in Perth and Kinross on our list. Dundee is covered too, around 17 miles from Scone.

What the job involves on each surface
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail.
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and debris are cleared from the opening.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Scone
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before the next one starts. For work around Scone, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

When to call us in Scone
Plenty of openings were simply never closed. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Old intumescent sealant that has split away
- Seals that don’t match their tested detail
- Unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings
Wherever services are added at a hospital such as Murray Royal Hospital (to the south of Scone) the compartment line has to be made good with the specified product.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
