Common questions from Stormontfield clients
Is North Muirton Industrial Estate, near Stormontfield, within your area?
Yes. We cover Stormontfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as North Muirton Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What do Scotland’s building standards say about service penetrations in Stormontfield?
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.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Fire stopping in Stormontfield: the local picture
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
For a unit at a site such as North Muirton Industrial Estate, which lies south of Stormontfield, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. In a hotel such as Newmiln Hotel, 1.4 miles to the north-east of Stormontfield, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
Stormontfield is about 3 miles north of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. We cover Stormontfield and the rest of Perth and Kinross, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else.

We cover the PH2 postcode districts. We also cover Luncarty (1 mile west), Guildtown (2 miles north-east), Stanley (2 miles north), Tulloch (3 miles south) and Scone (3 miles south-east).

Near you in Stormontfield
The closest station to Stormontfield is Perth station, about 3.9 miles south of the centre. Nearby you will also find Murray Royal Hospital (3.5 miles south) and St John's Shopping Centre (3.6 miles south). For a walk, there’s Kinnoull Hill.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Record which product was used where
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted, and the data sheet says which.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
Other services in Stormontfield
Work for main contractors and building owners
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Stormontfield can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
What we’re called out for in Stormontfield
Linear gaps fail where a fire-resisting wall meets a slab, soffit or another wall. Deflection and building movement can open these gaps, and a product not tested for that movement may crack. The tested detail for a linear joint states the width and movement it covers.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated
In a school such as Bertha Park High School, fire-rated sealant goes in around service penetrations where it is specified.
What your quote should include
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. For work around Stormontfield, we aim for one trip, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
