Fire stopping in Stoneywood
For main contractors, our fire stopping package slots in after the M&E trades have finished in an area. To price a package, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the schedule or marked-up drawings alongside the manufacturer’s details. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you have damaged fire seals in risers and voids and penetration schedules that need working through, we can help, on pipe penetrations, linear gaps at wall heads and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stoneywood first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Stoneywood, 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Commercial clients in Stoneywood
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Stoneywood can form part of a wider programme across Aberdeen.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Stoneywood, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- 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.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Why deal with it now?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Penetration seals near Stoneywood
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. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail. The area within 2 miles of Stoneywood holds plenty of hotels. Bedroom-to-corridor walls in hotels are normally fire-resisting, so new cabling or pipework through them has to be sealed to the tested detail.
Tenant changes at parks like ABZ Business Park, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Stoneywood, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. For a hospital such as Woodend Hospital, 3 miles south of Stoneywood, penetration sealing is typically phased ward by ward, with infection-control rules agreed first. Residences at universities like University of Aberdeen - Foresterhill Campus, 3.1 miles to the south-east of Stoneywood, have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled holes are neat; broken-out ones rarely are. Each gap is measured where it is widest so we know it sits within the tested range.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. Their tested detail, under BS EN 1366-4, sets the width, depth, backing and movement allowed and the installation has to fit inside those limits.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and installation follows the programme.
Common questions from Stoneywood clients
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Stoneywood?
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. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Can you work at a site such as ABZ Business Park, by Stoneywood?
Yes. We cover Stoneywood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as ABZ Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you work in Stoneywood?
Yes. We cover Stoneywood, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
