Questions about Tibbermore
Do you cover business parks and estates near Tibbermore, such as Broxden Business Park?
Yes, sites like Broxden Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tibbermore. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Tibbermore too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tibbermore are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will fire-rated sealant work on every penetration?
No. Each fire-rated sealant is tested for particular services, gap sizes and substrates. Outside that, a different product is needed, as set out by the designer.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No. The specification comes from your designer, fire engineer or building control. Our role is fitting the specified fire-rated sealant, following the maker’s tested details.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask the designer to confirm details early on refits
- Flag new cables with no seal around them
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
During planned inspections, look at seals in risers, cupboards and voids. Watch for cracked sealant, new services with no seal and openings that have grown, and report them promptly.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. That way the opening is sealed while the trade and access are still there instead of being left for someone else.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.

From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a single visit for a short list of penetrations, or a phased programme for a whole building. Jobs near Tibbermore are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Fire stopping in Tibbermore: the local picture
In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, using products tested for the way they’re used. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Tenant changes at parks like Broxden Business Park, 2.1 miles east of Tibbermore, bring new data and services, and openings through fire-resisting walls need the specified seal. Halls and meeting rooms at places like Tibbermore Parish Kirk sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal. Large healthcare estates like Murray Royal Hospital, 4.5 miles east of Tibbermore, change their services often, so penetration seals are worth checking after M&E work.
Tibbermore is about 3 miles west of Perth, in Perth and Kinross. Anywhere in PH1, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Linear joints run along the head of a wall, at a slab edge or between two fire-resisting elements. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers, and we work within it.
Metal pipes
Copper and steel pipes are a common service penetration for fire-rated sealant. Pipe diameter, annular gap, sealant depth and any pipe insulation all have to match the detail and we confirm each before sealing.
