After the work
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- File the specified details where the next contractor can find them
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
Give the sealant its full cure time before ceilings, boxing or decoration go over it. Not every fire-rated product can be painted.
Write fire stopping into the scope of any work crossing a compartment wall or floor. Then the seal goes in while the area is open, not months later.
Fire stopping in West Kingsdown
No fire sealant works on its own: the evidence covers a specific product, wall or floor type, service, gap, depth and backing. We match each opening to that detail before any sealant goes in. If you have fire sealant pulled out of the opening and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Kingsdown first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around West Kingsdown, penetration and linear seals tend to be one-building jobs. With the specification and photos of the gaps, we can give a fixed quote and bring the right products.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Kingsdown
An improvised seal can look finished while offering no tested performance. The fix is to remove it and reinstall to the detail. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

Your questions answered
Is West Kingsdown off your patch?
No. Places such as West Kingsdown are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you seal service penetrations in hotels around West Kingsdown?
Yes. We install fire-rated and intumescent sealant where it is specified. 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 weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around West Kingsdown. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Doing it in-house
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around West Kingsdown need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we go through the drawings, schedule or specification for the seals and ask about anything unclear.
- On site, each opening is checked against the tested detail it is meant to follow.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing goes in wherever the detail asks.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is gunned in to the specified depth, then tooled.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected
