Fire stopping in Viewpark
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. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance on buildings around Viewpark. The enquiries we see most involve builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and cable penetrations. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Viewpark tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Viewpark, 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.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork typically needs a different solution set by the designer.
Cables and cable bundles
Data cabling added after handover is a regular cause of open service penetrations. We reseal around them to the specified detail.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Viewpark, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Viewpark
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
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.

- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
- Fire doors, dampers or other fire safety equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Travel to remote or island sites

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Your questions answered
Which Scottish guidance covers penetration seals in Viewpark?
Scotland’s non-domestic Technical Handbook covers it in clause 2.1.14: penetrations keep at least the element’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for their end use. The detail is set by the designer and goes through the warrant process; we install the specified product to its tested detail.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like New Lanarkshire College - Coatbridge Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Is Viewpark in your area?
Yes. Sites across Viewpark are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Compartments and services around Viewpark
Viewpark has two care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care settings depend on compartmentation, so service penetrations made during maintenance or refurbishment need sealing with the specified product. 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, with products tested for that end use. We install fire-rated sealant to that tested detail where it is specified.
At a college such as New Lanarkshire College - Coatbridge Campus, 2.8 miles north-east of Viewpark, checking penetration seals after summer M&E works is good practice. On a hospital site such as Kirklands Hospital, which lies south of Viewpark, fire-rated sealant goes in where the specification calls for it, with the work planned around the estates team’s permits. Hotels such as Doubletree By Hilton Hotel Strathclyde, 0.8 miles to the east of Viewpark, rely on fire-resisting walls between bedrooms and corridors, and refits that add services leave penetrations to seal where fire-rated sealant is specified.
