Fire stopping in Strichen
No fire sealant works on its own: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. Site teams most often ask us about seals that don’t match their tested detail and snag lists that include open service penetrations, on service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Strichen, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
For a building near Strichen, we plan fire-rated sealing so it’s finished in one visit where possible. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Once the seals are in, tell other trades they exist and must not be disturbed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail, by someone who knows the system.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions we’re asked in Strichen
Is Strichen off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Strichen?
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. Design sits with the designer and the verifier; installation to the tested detail is our part.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically, and note anything we find that isn’t on it.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Open penetrations multiply: every new cable or pipe adds another. A schedule that is dealt with regularly stays manageable and avoids a much larger catch-up later. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strichen before they leak.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Compartment walls and floors in Strichen
Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, 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.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like All Saints' Episcopal Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Maud Hospital (to the south of Strichen) all have compartment walls crossed by services.
