Fire stopping near Strathbungo
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Surface by surface
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail, so we check each one.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Bigger ducts and fire-resisting ductwork are normally handled with other products and we flag that rather than guess.
Fire stopping in Strathbungo
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it, matching the product and detail it names. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. If you have service penetrations left open after M&E works and snag lists that include open service penetrations, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Strathbungo 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.
Large city estates in Scotland, from universities to hospitals and offices, are re-serviced constantly, and new cabling and pipework through compartment walls is a common reason fire stopping gets breached. New openings are closed with the specified fire-rated product, following its test evidence.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Your questions answered
Is hospital work, at somewhere like New Victoria Hospital, something you do?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Strathclyde?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Will you quote for a small job?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you work in Scotland as well as England?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
Do you approve fire stopping for building control?
No. We don’t certify or sign off fire stopping, and we hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. Our part is fitting the specified product to its tested detail, and any records you need can be confirmed with the quote.
Fire stopping in Strathbungo: the local picture
The area within 2 miles of Strathbungo 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. 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 proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Glasgow Clyde College - Langside Campus, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Strathbungo, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. For an estates team at a campus like University of Strathclyde (2.1 miles north-east of Strathbungo), summer M&E works are typically followed by a round of penetration sealing.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.

When to call us in Strathbungo
Plenty of openings were simply never closed, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Expanding foam used as fire stopping
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
Industrial units on estates such as Tradeston Industrial Estate (0.8 miles north of Strathbungo) often separate offices from warehouse space with fire-resisting walls, and new services through them need the specified seal.
Comparing quotes
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Advice
How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
