Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

How we handle fire stopping in Tulloch
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. Deciding the specification sits with the designer, the fire engineer and building control. We fit the specified fire-rated sealant following that specification and the maker’s installation guidance. We work on small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and service gaps in risers, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and fire seals cut back for extra cables and never reinstated. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Tulloch it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Tulloch, compartment walls and floors tend to be in schools, hotels, care homes and community buildings. Where services pass through, specified fire-rated sealant is installed following the manufacturer’s guidance for that wall or floor.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

What else we do in Tulloch
Why act early in Tulloch
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Tulloch with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- Each opening is checked for wall or floor type, service, gap and depth.
- Unsuitable material is removed and the opening cleaned first.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Advice
FAQs: Tulloch
Does your area include sites such as Inveralmond Business Centre, near Tulloch?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Tulloch, Inveralmond Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Tulloch off your patch?
No. Places such as Tulloch are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do the same rules apply to fire stopping in Scotland?
Scotland sets its own building regulations, with Technical Handbooks. Wherever the site is, our work follows the specification and the tested detail.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Sign-off belongs to the designer or building control, not the installer. We’ll confirm the product and detail installed, and you can tell us what other records you need at quote stage.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables and we work within those limits.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Tulloch. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Fire stopping around Tulloch: how the place shapes the job
There are 11 care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Tulloch. In a care home, any new pipe or cable through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Scotland has its own building standards: the non-domestic Technical Handbook (clause 2.1.14) says service penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
For a school such as Bertha Park High School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works. On a hospital site such as Perth Royal Infirmary, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Tulloch, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Tenant changes at centres like St Catherine's Retail Park (to the south-east of Tulloch) often mean new services through walls between units.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
