Fire stopping in Tullibody
Most of our fire stopping work happens after the building is up. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls. We close the openings listed on your schedule, using the specified sealant and detail. We work on cable penetrations, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are improvised or mixed-product fire seals and service penetrations left open after M&E works. For commercial sealant work in Tullibody, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Tullibody often have services added during refurbishment. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant as its published detail shows and raise it if another product is needed.
Work we carry out in Clackmannanshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Questions we are asked in Tullibody
Is Bandeath Industrial Estate, near Tullibody, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Tullibody and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bandeath Industrial Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Stirling Health and Care Centre?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you hold third-party fire-stopping installer certification?
No. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. Our credentials are CHAS accreditation, Constructionline membership and CSCS-carded applicators, and we are fully insured. Where a client or main contractor requires a scheme member, we will say so right away rather than waste your time.
Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
After every round of M&E works, check that the openings created have been sealed. Building it into each contractor’s sign-off keeps the walls intact.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.

Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near Tullibody are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
Where services cross fire walls in Tullibody
Tullibody has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. 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 fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
Where a unit on an estate such as Bandeath Industrial Estate, which lies south of Tullibody, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Stirling Health and Care Centre (to the south-west of Tullibody) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

What’s near Tullibody

When to call us in Tullibody
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all. Inspections, refurbishments and ceiling access typically bring them to light.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
At a college such as Forth Valley College - Alloa Campus, 2.3 miles to the south-east of Tullibody, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice.

When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Deciding what a wall or floor needs, which belongs to the designer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Service gaps in risers
- Pipe penetrations
Why it’s worth doing now in Tullibody
Open service penetrations matter on ordinary days, not just in a fire: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. The specified fire seal closes the gap for all of these. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Tullibody, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
