FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Spittalfield
Every service that crosses a compartment wall or floor leaves an opening, and that opening needs sealing to hold back fire and smoke. Our job is fitting fire-rated and intumescent sealant at those service penetrations, and along linear gaps, where it is the specified product. Each seal follows the manufacturer’s tested detail, not a rule of thumb. If you’re dealing with fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back and unsealed openings around new pipes and cables, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Spittalfield is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places such as Spittalfield, 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.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Check risers and ceiling voids after each round of works
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
New services after handover are a common way fire stopping gets breached. A short check at the end of each job saves a long hunt later.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open.
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Blairgowrie Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How do the Scottish rules apply to fire-rated sealing in Spittalfield?
The non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, expects a penetration to keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance period, with proprietary products tested for the use they’re put to. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, 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. Jobs near Spittalfield are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Why it’s worth doing now in Spittalfield
Open penetrations multiply: each new service adds to the list. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small. 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.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Failed material removed, not covered up
What the job involves on each surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and the tested detail may ask for insulation beyond the wall. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.

Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
For buildings in and around Spittalfield, fire-rated sealant is installed where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
