Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Murrayfield
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 the right detail can be checked at the time. In Murrayfield, as across Scotland, rain finds any gap, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Murrayfield
Facilities managers in Murrayfield often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it using the product and detail it sets out. Where there isn’t one, the designer or fire engineer needs to set one first. The enquiries we see most involve old intumescent sealant that has split away and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, across linear gaps at wall heads, joints between fire-resisting walls and floors and cable penetrations. Most enquiries from Murrayfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Tenement blocks and converted stone buildings in Scottish cities often hide old service routes through walls and floors. Wall type and service type decide the product, so both are checked before sealing.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

FAQs: Murrayfield
Can you seal around new services in a hotel near Murrayfield?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. We match the product to the wall or floor and the services, and say if something other than sealant is needed.
How do Scotland’s building standards affect fire-rated sealant in Murrayfield?
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. We install what has been specified, to the manufacturer’s tested detail, while design and approval sit with the designer and the verifier.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Service penetrations in Murrayfield buildings
A 2-mile radius around Murrayfield takes in a good number of hotels. Hotels are divided into compartments, and refurbishments that add pipes and cables through bedroom and corridor walls leave gaps to close. 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.
For a site team at a college like Royal College of General Practitioners Edinburgh (1.9 miles east of Murrayfield), fire-rated sealing is best scheduled after the summer works. Campus buildings at universities such as Edinburgh Napier University, 1.5 miles south of Murrayfield, see constant changes to data and services, and fire-rated sealant goes in around new penetrations where it is specified.

What we are called out for in Murrayfield
Physical damage is another reason seals stop doing their job. Seals get knocked during maintenance, cut back to add a cable or pulled out when services are swapped, and the repair is often skipped.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Hidden openings found during inspections
- Penetration schedules that need working through
- Openings left by services added after handover
- Fire sealant pulled out of the opening
On estates like Russell Road Industrial Estate, 0.8 miles to the east of Murrayfield, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal.
What to look for in a quote
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Before you send an enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Work on a big city site in Scotland normally involves inductions and permits. Tell us the rules and we will work to them.
- We start with your penetration schedule, drawings or specification.
- We plan the sequence of floors, risers and voids with you.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- Backing and fire-rated sealant are installed to the detail and tooled.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
