Fire-rated sealing for Tullynessle buildings
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, using products tested for the way they’re used. Our part is installing the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
Halls and meeting rooms at places like Tullynessle and Forbes Parish Church sometimes gain new services, and any compartment wall crossed needs the specified seal.

About our fire stopping in Tullynessle
It helps to set out our role at the start. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Tullynessle and nearby. Site teams most often ask us about expanding foam used as fire stopping and seals disturbed by maintenance and left open, across service gaps in risers, cable penetrations and pipe penetrations. Whoever orders the work in Tullynessle, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Tullynessle, 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Tullynessle
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
Holiday works at schools like Alford Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return.

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. 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.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint usually 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.
How a job runs
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence, and we clear our waste as we work. For a building near Tullynessle, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- 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.
- If an opening needs something other than sealant, we tell you instead of improvising.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Agree which areas must stay open
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Tullynessle: questions and answers
Will you design a fire-stopping scheme for our building in Tullynessle?
No, that sits with the 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 Tullynessle too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
