About our fire stopping in Tannochside
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you are dealing with penetration schedules that need working through and fire sealant pulled out of the opening, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tannochside 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.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Tannochside often have services added during refurbishment. A round of checks after M&E work is good practice, and any gaps found are sealed where fire-rated sealant is specified.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Service penetrations in Tannochside buildings
A 2-mile radius around Tannochside takes in several 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. Tannochside has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care homes rely on fire-resisting walls and floors, and maintenance work that breaks through them leaves openings to seal. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.
Holiday works at schools like Uddingston Grammar School often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. At a healthcare site like Kirklands Hospital, 1.4 miles to the south of Tannochside, new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Hotels such as Redstones Hotel, 0.7 miles south-west of Tannochside, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.

Surface by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Voids hide a lot of unsealed openings. We work through the areas on your schedule methodically and tell you about openings outside the list.
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.
Cost factors for service penetrations
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
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.
Honest limits
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.

Questions about Tannochside
Can you seal penetrations in a hotel in Tannochside after a refit?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Can work in a care setting near Tannochside go ahead while residents are there?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tannochside is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Related advice
Why act early in Tannochside
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Tannochside, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
