Fire stopping in Tulloes
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, cable penetrations and linear gaps at wall heads, and what we are called in for most is service penetrations left open after M&E works and penetration schedules that need working through. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tulloes tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Hotels and care homes around smaller places like Tulloes 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Commercial clients in Tulloes
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Tulloes can form part of a wider programme across Angus.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Brief every trade that openings they make must be sealed
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
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 get them dealt with.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. Small habits like this stop openings building up.
FAQs: Tulloes
Can you work on a hospital site such as Forfar Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Tulloes too far out for you?
No. Places such as Tulloes are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
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 agree any further records when we quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach and each detail can be checked as we go. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For a building near Tulloes, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance.
Linear joints
Head-of-wall joints often have to absorb slab deflection. We use the product and backing the detail names for that movement, along the full length of the run.
