Fire stopping for St Cyrus sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. The gap is measured at the widest point against the detail’s limits, and any that don’t are flagged.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer.
About our fire stopping in St Cyrus
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance on sites in St Cyrus. If you’re dealing with unsealed openings around new pipes and cables and damaged fire seals in risers and voids, we can put it right, on cable penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and linear gaps at wall heads alike.

After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Record which product was used where
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.

Your questions answered
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in St Cyrus?
Under Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14), service penetrations should keep at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, using products tested for their end use. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Is St Cyrus off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Leave it or put it right?
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like St Cyrus. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Compartments and services around St Cyrus
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
In a building such as St Cyrus Uf Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Around St Cyrus, we install fire-rated and intumescent sealant to the product’s tested detail wherever it is the specified product.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a building near St Cyrus, 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 ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
