How we handle fire stopping in Tomintoul
Sealant is the specified answer for plenty of openings, such as metal pipes, cables and some small ducts where the detail covers them. Other openings need collars, wraps, batts, pillows or boards. If the detail calls for something other than sealant, we say so rather than force sealant into it. Site teams most often ask us about fire sealant pulled out of the opening and improvised or mixed-product fire seals, across pipe penetrations, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads. Most enquiries from Tomintoul start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Travel to smaller places like Tomintoul is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
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.

FAQs: Tomintoul
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Tomintoul?
No. Fire-stopping design and sign-off belong to the designer, principal designer, fire engineer or building control. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant around service penetrations and linear gaps where it is specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Is Tomintoul too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tomintoul are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email us.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.

What else we do in Tomintoul
Why it’s worth doing now in Tomintoul
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. Around smaller places like Tomintoul, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why clients in Tomintoul choose us
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Quoting for work in Tomintoul
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Large openings beyond what any sealant detail covers
- Writing the fire-stopping specification
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Tomintoul with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and raise any questions before we price.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- 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.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits
