After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, so check the product data first.
Make reporting new openings part of every permit to work in service areas. Small habits like this stop openings building up.

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Issuing fire ratings or certificates for seals
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions we are asked in Tormore
Do you decide the fire-stopping details for buildings in Tormore?
No. The designer or fire engineer sets the detail and building control accepts it. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
Is Tormore too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tormore are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Will you quote for a small job?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we will ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Tormore with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and raise any questions before we price.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Unsuitable fillers and loose debris are taken out of each opening.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send your site hours and access windows
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
When to call us in Tormore
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
- Penetration schedules that need working through
For any site around Tormore, we work to the specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance, leaving design and sign-off with the designer.
