About our fire stopping in Scourie More
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. We work from your penetration schedule or marked-up drawings. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. Most enquiries involve fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal, across pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. For commercial sealant work in Scourie More, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Scourie More is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Do you need fire stopping in Scourie More?
Mixing products or improvising a detail breaks the link with the test evidence. Gaps beyond the tested size, shallow sealant, no backing where it was needed, or products from different systems mixed together are what we find most often.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
In a hotel such as Scourie Hotel, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Scourie More, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What site paperwork they can supply
When something else is needed
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Scourie More
Is Scourie More too far out for you?
Not at all. Scourie More is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Scourie More?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What hours do you work?
We are 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 you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Fire-rated sealing for Scourie More buildings
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. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail. There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Scourie More. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close.
For buildings in and around Scourie More, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Keep general-purpose fillers away from compartment walls
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Jobs near Scourie More are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
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 requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- When you need the work done
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
