Questions about Crockham Hill
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Tandridge Priory?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is Crockham Hill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Crockham Hill is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
About our fire stopping in Crockham Hill
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate and we’d rather say that up front. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Most enquiries involve old intumescent sealant that has split away and service penetrations left open after M&E works, across service gaps in risers, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and pipe penetrations. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Crockham Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around smaller places like Crockham Hill, penetration seals come up in schools, halls, pubs with rooms, care homes and farm buildings used as offices. If sealant is what the specification names, we install it around the services exactly as the maker’s detail sets out.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, a job for a competent assessor
- Construction that lacks the fire resistance the seal relies on
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Service gaps in risers
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Cable penetrations
- Pipe penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Access details, including height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
For a fixed quote, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
What happens if it’s left?
Leave a penetration open and smoke and fire can cross into the next compartment far earlier than intended. While the openings can be reached, sealing them is normally straightforward. Wait until ceilings close or areas are occupied and the same work becomes harder to reach. Converted and older buildings near places like Crockham Hill tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.

Where services cross fire walls in Crockham Hill
For England, the fire stopping of penetrations is dealt with in Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. Our part stays the same: the specified product, installed to its tested detail. Crockham Hill is about 19 miles from central London. Business park offices in the commuter belt are refitted as tenants change, and each fit-out adds services through compartment walls.
Older community buildings such as Holy Trinity Church that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Hospital estates such as Tandridge Priory (2 miles north-west of Crockham Hill) are divided into fire compartments, and any service penetration through them should be sealed to the specified, tested detail.
Crockham Hill is about 6 miles south-west of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Our applicators travel to Crockham Hill for work on service penetrations, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, including Crockham Hill. London is covered too, around 19 miles from Crockham Hill.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Agree the fire-stopping specification before services go in
Keep the product data and installation details with the building’s fire safety information. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. Smaller jobs around Crockham Hill can be grouped with others nearby. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- 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 so the seal starts clean.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- Anything outside the detail is reported to you rather than sealed.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
