For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
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, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Fire stopping in East Molesey
Opened ceilings and riser doors often reveal service openings nobody sealed. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it using the product and detail it sets out. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. We work on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and what we are called in for most is non-fire-rated filler around services and service penetrations left open after M&E works. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in East Molesey 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 East Molesey, many commercial buildings are conversions or extensions of older ones, so the wall or floor a service passes through isn’t always what the drawings assume. We match the product to the substrate and service, and say so if a collar, wrap or batt is the specified item.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- The product your specification calls for
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Include service cupboards in routine inspections
- Report damaged or disturbed seals as soon as they’re spotted
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Record which product was used where
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, and the data sheet says which.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match, which saves guesswork.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access. Work in places the size of East Molesey is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- 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.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Move anything stored against the joints
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Questions we’re asked in East Molesey
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in East Molesey?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Molesey Community Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Why act early in East Molesey
A seal that doesn’t match its tested detail gives false comfort. Correcting it means cutting it out and starting again with the specified product, and doing it once, properly, is cheaper. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

How the job changes by surface

Drylining partitions
Holes in board are often cut larger than needed. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range.
