Fire stopping in Jedburgh
We should be clear about what we do and don’t do. The designer, fire engineer or building control decides which fire stopping is required; sign-off sits with them too. What we bring is careful installation of the specified sealant, to the maker’s guidance in Jedburgh and nearby. We work on service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and cable penetrations, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are seals disturbed by maintenance and left open and fire-rated sealant that has cracked or shrunk back. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Jedburgh from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Travel to smaller places like Jedburgh is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Send the specification and photographs of the openings, with sizes if you have them.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Questions about Jedburgh
Does your area include sites such as Bongate Industrial Estate, near Jedburgh?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Jedburgh, Bongate Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Jedburgh?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Each seal follows the tested detail, and rooms are done in turn.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you cover Jedburgh?
Yes. We cover Jedburgh, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Walls or floors that aren’t fire-resisting to begin with
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Pipe penetrations
- Cable penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
Quoting for work in Jedburgh
Before we quote, we look at:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Fire stopping in Jedburgh: the local picture
Jedburgh 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. Under the Scottish non-domestic Technical Handbook, clause 2.1.14, penetrations should be fire stopped to at least the wall or floor’s fire resistance duration, with products tested for that end use. We install what’s specified, to the product’s tested detail.
In a building such as Boston Church and Offices, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. Where a unit on an estate such as Bongate Industrial Estate, which lies north of Jedburgh, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail.
Jedburgh is about 10 miles east of Hawick, in the Scottish Borders. Across the TD8 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. 91 places across the Scottish Borders fall within our area, including Jedburgh.

When to call us in Jedburgh
Some service penetrations were never sealed at all, often hidden above suspended ceilings or behind boxing. They come to light during inspections, refits or when another trade lifts a tile.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Head-of-wall gaps with no fire seal
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Seals disturbed by maintenance and left open
- Openings found when ceilings come down for a refit
In a hotel such as Royal Hotel, less than half a mile to the west of Jedburgh, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
Surface by surface
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. The ductwork, its supports and any dampers are for the ductwork contractor.
Linear joints
Joints at the top of partitions may need to move as the slab above deflects. The specified product and backing for that movement are what goes in.
Leave it or put it right?
It is cheaper to seal service penetrations as each services package finishes than to come back for them later. Openings are visible, access is open and nothing has to be taken down and each detail can be checked as we go. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Jedburgh before they leak.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
