Fire stopping near Temple
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Metal pipes
Sealant details often cover copper and steel pipework. The tested detail sets the pipe size range, gap, depth and whether insulation can stay on.
Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
About our fire stopping in Temple
Facilities managers in Temple often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. Where the walls and floors already have a fire-stopping specification, we can work to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, service gaps in risers and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, and what we are called in for most is penetration schedules that need working through and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit. For commercial sealant work in Temple, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook says a service penetration ought to match, as a minimum, how long the wall or floor resists fire. For a building in Temple, specified fire-rated sealant is installed as the maker’s tested detail describes.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Temple
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Glasgow Garscube Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do I request a quote?

Cost factors for service penetrations
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Access and working height
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The product your specification calls for
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Where the site is, with the postcode
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Compartments and services around Temple
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, and products should be tested for their end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail. The 2 miles around Temple include seven care or nursing homes. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. We install fire-rated sealant to the tested detail where it is specified.
For a unit at a site such as Anniesland Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north of Temple, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Glasgow Clyde College - Anniesland Campus, 0.5 miles south-east of Temple, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal. Large healthcare estates like Gartnavel Royal Hospital, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Temple, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Temple is about 3 miles north-east of Renfrew, in Glasgow. Our applicators travel to Temple for work on service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. 171 places across Glasgow fall within our area, including Temple.

Why act early in Temple
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down, and the right detail can be checked at the time. In a Scottish city, access often needs scaffold, permits or factor approval, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. City jobs in Temple typically need parking and loading planned. Shared closes, stairs and the property factor may need to be part of the plan.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
