Fire Rated Sealant in Jedburgh

- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Jedburgh may be a longer drive, and the journey is planned ahead. Tell us about tracks, gates, a ferry crossing or anything unusual about getting there.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

FAQs for Jedburgh
Is Jedburgh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers the whole of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Jedburgh?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In an older home around Jedburgh, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Fire rated sealant in Jedburgh: local notes
In Scotland, building work comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, though we don’t certify buildings or do fire risk assessments. Jedburgh has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
If you look after a building such as Jedburgh Grammar School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we’re called out for in Jedburgh
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like Boston Church and Offices are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
